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) |

we had an in person meeting with our manufacturer just before Thanksgiving and they have dissected the original and the smaller vdo replacement as well as the 944 /924 clocks, and accordingly the early ones have movements the later ones electronic. They will be making the clocks fully electronic but looking identical to the original console clocks. He has not given us an update since, we have the identical volt meters, the oil temp gauges as well as the new factory console sized oil pressure gauges, we are also thinking of having him make
