My dash clock is in amazing shape and actually worked up until a year ago. It now runs intermittently and I would like to get it repaired. Can anyone recommend a repair company who's workmanship you have experience.

Harrison Speedometer just did my clock and cluster restoration. Top quality work. He will repair your original clock works or convert it to a quartz movement if you wish. Highly recommended by many.

Do it yourself, it is easy, pull it out, take the nut off the + terminal, uncrimp the tabs (4), take a finger nail file, file the points, put a very little 3 in 1 oil on gears (none on the main spring) and put it back together, no need to take the face or **** off if you are not restoring the face.

110% Bill will get your clock back to better than new.

Had mine done a couple years ago and it's still working fantastic. He also refurbished it and my cluster with all gauges to perfection.
You won't be disappointed...

If you want to do the quortz movement it works well, but if your car is original and you want to keep it that way, I would not do it. It is easy to detect the change, You can buy the quortz movement kit, it took me about a 1/2 hr to do it for someone and he keep the original movement if he wanted to put it back in.

In my case the clock and its points shorted sometime during its life. My plug was melted and the clock power wires were melted back into the dash harness. It was a surprise to me when I pulled the cluster and clock out. Soooooo the clock needed somebody more qualified than me. My winter project turned into a new dash harness plus cluster/clock restoration.

Thanks for the suggestions on this thread. I so need to take off the glass and replace mine. I assume the **** is just screw on but I realize it also pulls out in order to adjust the time. So do I just need to hold the stem with some needle nose while I unscrew it? Don't want to mess it up as it does work but the glass has been scratched up.

The attached PDF has some info I put together when I got the clock in my '65 running. Still going after 14 years.

Most excellent. Thanks, just what I needed!

It is far to easy to do. You can do it faster than packing it to send away for repair.

Followed all the instructions and it is apart except the glass that I need to replace. Any suggestions on how to remove the glass?
