Clock problem baffling me

I sent my non working clock to North Hollywood speedometer for a rebuild along with my speedo. When I got it back and installed it, it quit after a few minutes.
I thought I had a loose wire or something. I checked the hot wire and ground, both good. Took the clock back out and set up a bench test. Worked fine for three days.
Thought maybe my hot wire has an intermittent connection problem. I ran a new hot from the constant hot on the emergency flasher button. Same problem. Works for a while and quits.
Did the same for the ground, no change. I sent it back to NHS, they said they reworked it and sent it back. Same problem. I'm wondering if maybe I don't have enough current going to it. My bench test was 2 amps. I don't know what the power is to the clock wire or the flashers. Anyone have any ideas for me????
 
Is it the early mechanical clock or the quartz version?

I've rebuilt a couple of the mechanical ones and they can be temperamental with mounting position. When you bench tested the clock out of the car was it resting at a similar angle to what it would be in the car?
