Update: I picked up the new capacitors today (16V 47UF) for $7.00, smaller units than the old ones so the car should be a bit faster.
I decided to replace both which worked out well because when I went to remove the second capacitor the one leg slid out, it would been the next failure. The clock now works great, the gears had a slight sound to them, a dab of oil and they are super smooth and quite. I also timed it for five minutes with my phone stop watch and it's right on the money. So overall, relatively easy fix and total cost of $7.00. Again if you open your clock and see an obvious issue with the capacitors and don't want to play with the whole soldering issue, you can take it in and have the e-shop change them out. I would guess this cost would be minimum. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/monkeydance.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

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.
