<html><head></head><body>Neat... And no @#$%! way am I going to spend that much time soldering together a clock, even if it was only $5. A not-overly-accurate-clock, at that!<br>
<br>
However, as noted in the details, there's a 120VAC-to-9VAC wall transformer involved, so even if you hung on to the bare leads with your hands, you wouldn't likely be getting anything more than an unpleasant tingle/buzz.<br>
Of course, I don't have all the details, and that looks (just eyeballing it) like a fairly hefty capacitor - the *possible* discharge current involved *could* be enough to be severely unpleasant. But not _likely_ to be harmful. Don't take this as any sort of guarantee, however.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, you could easily cover the bottom-left corner with a clear plastic shroud of some sort, and touching the rest of the board would likely (again...) be a non-event.<br>
