Default Clock LCD replacement kit -Who needs them

I made a replacement kit for the 944 late LCD closk that had a tendancy to delaminate or break. I have had some interest in making a 928 version. I'm just trying to see what the need is. The 928 chip is a little different, and actually looks like it's a better chip as far as duribility and design. Any feedback on the issues with these would be appreciated.

Most want to punt the LCD clock and put in an analog version.

I'd buy a replacement for a broken display. I've never liked the analog clocks that come in some cars.

You make it, I'll probably buy it if it could be $100 or so. Not willing to break the bank for a clock.

But.. why would you make a kit that has a tendency to delaminate or break?!

(Sorry, I'll get my coat..)

If the tendency occurs after a 15-20 year service life - I'm okay with that.
Is this tendency inherent in the design/construction? ...or a product of age degradation.

Exactly. The flaw is the designed like expectancy. Vibration, temperature changes, and moisture are enemies of the LCD. The product is exactly like stock, and will not cost sever hundred dollars to replace (as they want to sell the whole unit)
