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) |

I know there are a few threads out there on clocks. The PO of my 356 had all of the gauges done years ago and the clock was converted to quartz. Palo Alto did all of the work. I bought one of AA's quarts replacements and it shipped yesterday. I have a 74 BB and the clock makes noise but the hands don't move. It also drained the battery over a few months. My bad for not disconnecting the battery for storage. I'll attempt to repair the old clock per the instructions in this thread at some point and also update it with how the AA clock looks and works. Palo Alto quoted me $695 plus shipping to convert my existing clock to quartz and do their other normal service.
