Fred, I'm not finding it, where I thought I read it? Still trying to find it in print! I know for sure 100%, that I have read this information before, just can't seem to find it?
There was a long list of recommended service items this item, was on the list.
I'll keep looking

Don't waste your time. Been there....done that. The original Borg clock is a nifty device; but "reliability" is NOT it's strong suit. Fix it and it will fail again within 5 years (usually much less).
Buy a clone clock with a quartz movement...or replace the gearset in your clock with a quartz movement. In the long run, you will be glad you did.
Or, you could just convert that gauge location to something else: vacuum gauge, A/F meter, oil temp, whatever. Hey, you already have 'quartz' on your wrist and a cell phone with accurate time!

Quartz is the way to go . All you need is the quartz conversion kit. Auto clocks back in the day never worked very long so why would it today if you have it repaired ? I used the quartz conversions and they kept perfect time .
