How about making a wall clock from the front bezel ;)
When I was an Apple Tech I ordered a couple of spare Colour Classic and MacPlus front bezels, fashioned some perspex to go where the CRT should be, captured a screenshot, printed it on sticky paper, stuck it on the Perspex, bought a clock movement with hands, drilled a hole in the centre of the perspex "screen", whacked the clock movement in and bingo, Apple Clock :) But only if it's beyond repair.
Or...
I think Easy Access was on those machines and it could be bypassed by booting from a system floppy (which I think I still have). Hmm, can you even buy 3.5" floppies these days...
