Clock:
I think I fried my center console clock when both the + and - wires made contact on the negative terminal of the clock. I took it apart hoping to find the built-in 'fuse' had blown, but it didn't. It's an early model. Has anyone rebuilt/repaired one successfully, or have a recommendation of someone that does repairs? Or would I better off just placing a WTB ad in the classifieds?
Voltage gauge:
Center console voltage gauge always reads 0, although the needle tries to move to the left of 0 when I turn the lights on. It's almost as if it needs to be calibrated. Is there an internal calibration mechanism? I didn't want to take a chance in trying to pry the metal bezel off if there wasn't. Alternatively, does anyone repair these?

I used Palo Alto Speedometer to convert my clock to a quartz movement. Works great. They are very well-known for instrument repairs

No adjustments on voltage gauge that I know of. Clock repairs are in the $150 range. Probably want to post ad.

You sure you didn't just pop the car's fuse? Connecting both + and - to the negative terminal would just send power to ground through the - wire, not through the clock, and pop the car's fuse.
Check The Simple Stuff First.

If the voltmeter is trying to go the other direction when the car is on, you may have the power and ground wires swapped.
