Barry,
That is own very nice '70 model!! Great "original owner" story! Thanks for sharing the story and the pics. You should share this with the Corvette magazines. It is unique enough that they might just publish it!!
Welcome to the C3 forum!! :cheers:

Re: Hi I'm New (gerry72)
Hi gerry72...
Sorry, I kept the original clock going until about 7 years ago.
It needed the points cleaned a couple of times since new.
Then the last time I removed it to clean the points, the coil had fried.
I suspect the points were dirty and caused a resistive contact. Not enough
to do the "wind", but enough current passed to cook the coil.
The clock part still works, just can't wind itself.
I replaced the movement with a quartz, using my face/hands.
I still have the original "guts"
