Clock Tip
« on: August 18, 2021, 12:31:35 »
Hi Friends -

Want to recommend Jeff at classiccarclock.com for the great service on my 1964 original clock - I sent it to him, $150 to rebuild. Unfortunately an interior mechanism was not working. Jeff found a 'parts clock' on ebay - for $200 - and installed a new bezel - which he only charged me $60 for - and had it all done rather quickly. His usual turn around time is just a week (!).

See attached for B&A

Anyone know if this shop is still in business? classicclock.com ...says the website is for sale

I have a 280 clock that is complete --- needs a cleaning and possible rebuild.
Also need the odometer, tach and other dash cleaned and repaired if needed.
I am opting to stay with the clicking clock -------- no quartz. What should this cost ??? if it's just minor clean and repair?

I also found out I have an incorrect steeling wheel on my car. I have a 107 wheel era 1975 and this may be the reason that the turns signals do noy work correctly. So, I guess I'm also in the market for a new 280 wheel - black.

The adventure starts!  dennis

I am very pleased with ClockWorks in Eagle River, WI. I reached out to them after seeing the recommendation in the Tech Manual. Very fast, very polite, and I'd consider the service inexpensive. I lost a screw when I disassembled it for some reason which they replaced, also calibrated and cleaned it -- wasn't functioning when I bought the car. Requesting  the express service seemed to give me a week turnaround.
