Garrett's photo of the warning buzzer
but unfortunately it is attached to the central informer which also doubles as the, "machine that goes ping". There might also be relay involved I've just never had a reason to go digging so I'm not really sure.

Jason,
If you find out more info on the buzzer, let me know. The item by itself could easily be incorporated into the side of the clock housing. Making it functional is the puzzle.

Andreas,
I'm sure you can source out some cheap, metal embossing numbers and then hammer it into the underside.
Here's a start: http://www.argontool.com/ecatalog/frames/default.asp

Mark,
I actually searched for some sort of branding iron with interchangeable numbers. Each possibility I found was way too expensive for the limited use I needed. In the end I found a Dremel electric engraver. It works, but it's impossible to form perfect numbers with the varying hardness of the wood grain.
The small impact stamp shown on that site may have worked well though.

I have a heated "iron" that I use to brand my work for posterity and it never comes out that sharp.
Hmm... laser engraving.. new tool?....

Mark,
I'm all for new tool purchases, but a laser engraver? The clocks would need to fetch $1,000 for that to happen
