A favourite of collectors, who named it after the movie it famously appeared in (it also showed up in 48 Hours), this module boasts a fancy duplex LCD; one for the digits and one for the hands. It shows off the hands in a demo mode, and when the alarm or timer goes off. Sadly, those duplex LCDs turned out to be poorly sealed, and nearly all of them have suffered bleed to a lesser or greater extent by now, further inflating the value of decent examples. A particularly unusual quirk of the 103 module is its half-hourly chime. This module was employed in at least seven different models, and this A201 is possibly the most popular, the plated case has a press-on caseback. Released in 1980, it’s in the 70s category due to its style.

The case is part of the circuit for the pushers, which don’t work super reliably as a result; it seems to be the interface between the case and pushers, given that making the light illuminate steadily seems to be dependent on the angle of pressure. Looking into a fix for this.
