WTB Clock

You might be able to repair it yourself if it is the usual broken fused link.

I am all for repairing things that are simple; however, with clocks, it depends on what model you have:

- The earlier, mechanical clocks had those fusable links which are often the problem when they fail.

- The later, quartz clocks are harder to fix. These can easily be identified by the word "quartz" on the face, as well as by a shallower case. I had mine repaired by United Speedometer in Riverside when it died from an over-voltage condition. See: http://www.speedometershop.com/ Palo Alto and North Hollywood Speedometer could also probably repair these quartz clocks.

I have a clock for sale. Ran good but was slow.
If you buy a mechanical clock I would suggest that you have it rebuilt to a quartz mechanism for reliability. The re-builder will clean and polish the interior to look new. Or at least N Hollywood did when making my new gauges.
When I re veneered my dash I removed the clock and installed a v meter/oil p in the clock position.
I haven't worn a watch in over 25 years and don't much care what time it is. Never late for dinner since I am the cook!

Good Point

I don't really care what time it is but I figure as long as the dash is in 100 pieces, might as well tackle as many projects as reasonable. I hadn't considered replacing it with another type of guage. All of my guages/dials are clean so I don't think they need touching up. I'll try the clock fixes mentioned. If I can't get it to fix, perhaps I'll replace it with a happiness meter which is tied to the accelerator and the brake!
 
North Hollywood Speedometer can make it look and work better than new. They did mine, as well as many other e9's based on the photos in their showroom.
