Default Quartz clock

This is a followup to mt quartz clock on my '60. I pulled the clock and it had a service tag on it that said:
Corvette Instrument Services Palm beach Gardens Fl.
I checked their web site and it shows the company is no longer in business.
Any suggestions how to get this repaired now?

Unless you have some reason to use the clock you have you can buy a Reproduction for $150

You could take a shot at fixing yours. If it's like the C2 clock ground is accomplished by a spring tab that is contact the case when assembled to complete the ground. I may be this tab is not making good contact with the case do to a little corrosion over the years.
