If I was Emma, the only thing why I would feel offended, is because you called her a guy!

Not only a chance! I WILL do that. I bought two of those clocks. One in a very good condition (the one on my photo above) and one with a damaged and yellowed face/dial, which I've removed. But it's still good enough for scanning and redrawing it (without the brand name, of course).

Yesterday I got my Westclox Bingo Style 3 alarm clock, which is exactly the same type as seen in BTTF 1 on George McFly's nightstand 1955. The only difference is: the movie clock has no brand name on the face. Some trivia: this type of clocks was produced from 1962 - 1979. George must be a time traveller too! :lol

Now I'm searching for the exact brand and type of George's 1955 wristwatch. It's also seen on the nightstand screen shot and in a few other scenes, but it's small and hard to identify. Any watch experts here on the board?

Hi @Roland, sorry to bother you but I managed to get the white clocks of George’s! it’s in good shape and it also works... I was just wondering if you could give me some advice on how to remove the “WESTCLOX” from the face... also I don’t want to damage it, so do you have any tips on opening the clock (I know it opens fron the face/front) thank you in advance for any help.... thanks

Roland said:

Congratulations! It's a nice little clock.

I never had plans to remove the Westclox letters, so my clock still has them. To be honest, I really don't know how to properly remove them without destroying the clock. :$

I have actually two of these Westclox clocks. My second one is in a very poor condition (broken parts and yellowed surface). My plan with this clock was the same as yours: removing the face, scanning it and replacing it by a new one without Westclox letters, but since its condition is really poor, I never felt like doing it. So I still have my first clock, which looks like new, and I don't want to ruin it.

Roland, Did you ever happen to scan and redraw the clock face without the westclox name?
