This instructable will outline the construction of a customised clock. Whilst this is specifically the construction of the clock featured on Sesame Street; the Pinball Number Counting animation, the general procedures are the same and the instructions are as generic as possible. The clock is inexpensive and an easy way to create something out of the ordinary.

Having grown up in the era; Sesame Street was a big part of my life. It was all forgotten until Family Guy did a reference to the
Pinball Number Counting animated segment in the episode
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz.
YouTube video of the segment (not uploaded by myself)
After watching it numerous times, the idea to make a real clock from the image popped into my head.
I hope you don't mind, I added a Samurize version of the clock for desktop use ;)

Gutted and refaced, it'd lend itself perfectly to this project!
