914 clock repair?, reasonable recommendation Options

[drem914]

Just purchased a clock as part of group of center console gauges online from someone that said it was working when they pulled the console out. It was the only one of the three (volt and temp) that was not all scratched up. It was completely frozen. Now I have 2 that don't work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I went to North Hollywood Speedo and they said "Service on these can range from $195 to $385. 1-5 day turn around."

I don't need a clock that bad....

Anyone have recommendation for a reasonable repair on the center console clock? (later model)

right now we are in the process of making a reproduction 914 clock identical in every way to the original but just not with the VDO on the face. We will be selling it along with the installation gasket for no more than 95.00 an hopefully cheaper

Hopefully, they'll be more impressive than your oil temp gauges. Your oil temp gauge looks nothing like the 914 Gauge. For $38.00 and free shipping a person could get this:

I'm tempted since my car isn't original anyway. I think if you can have an original clock restored for $110 that would be the route most would go. I'm almost done installing another VDO movement into my 914 clock and it's coming out well so I probably won't have one restored or buy aftermarket. Good luck with the clocks. I'll probably start a thread about how I'm doing mine.

EDIT I just looked at your site and saw you offer the same gauge. I saw a different gauge you posted a picture of in the last couple of days.

you have not seen a pic of our oil temp gauge yet as I have not posted it, only posted the oil PRESSURE gauge!!!!!!!

Ours looks exactly like the Indian one you provided the link for.

Why waste time making a non matching gauge? Would be silly.
