Need a clock for `87 Carrera

Por_sha911 · Por_sha911's Garage

Has anyone had one repaired recently? About what does it cost?
I'd rather have the one that came with the car versus buying another one used but it will depend on cost.

There's a good write up on how to easily repair the clock at home...

I did the steps for my 87 and my clock is back to life, even posted in the thread.

You can also send to JBell - he works magic. I added a Heuer chronograph logo to mine, just for fun.

Almostordinary-my soldering skills are almost zero so that is a no go but thanks for the suggestion.

FA-18C - couldn't find JBell in list to send a P.M.

North Hollywood speedometer does good work - can be slow via email. - give them a call.

Por_sha911, I believe he goes by jbell959 here on the forum.

Here's a thread with his good work: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/1103321-john-bell-gauge-repair-customization-review.html

North Hollywood has been my go-to for a decade or two. They got my clock up and running. I have sent them all 5 gauges at one point to open everything up, clean, and repair/replace any internals that didn't look pristine.
