Solid article! I like how the guy took time to take the appropriate pictures and insert them into his article. Most times a pictures DOES say a thousand words.
I hope more of us can take this type of indepth photos next time we tackle a project so that we can post them for the rest of the club.
I know I will be doing that as I learn the ins and outs of Corvette mechanics-ship.
Really old post to reply to but any chance you still have the clock repair guide to upload or link to. It would probably still be useful to others and myself. My clock still works but the set knob doesn't work anymore. Always nice to see what others say about different repairs and tricks they may discover in the process.
Thanks,
Bruce

I "fixed" mine a year or two ago -- it worked for a day then quit again. I replaced it with a quartz clock which works great. It looks original, but the seconds hand moves a bit different so someone would be able to tell that it is not original if they knew what to look for.
The good news w/ a quartz clock is you don't have to take it apart periodically to clean the points on the spring winder. 😀
