Fixing a clock
 

The clock on my 83 SC doesn't work (does anyone's??). I thought it would be fun to strip it down and try to fix it.

Anyone had any success doing this? It looks a pig to get open – the bezel has to be levered off.

I have done it both ways... spend the bux and get it fixed by someone who does it for a living. No. Hollywood Speedo (look in Pano for their address) is the old hand at it but I have used Overseas Speedo in Austin Tx as well. They are cheaper and turn around units in a day.. www.spedometer.com.

You may be able to fix it yourself (if the only problem is the contacts inside) but without the tools to do the bezel right, it just does not go back together well and for the small change it costs, do it right.

Forgot one "E"... www.speedometer.com

Check the tech bulletins, I think there is a series on fixing clocks.

I bought three, yes, three, before making the inspired decision to check the fuse for the clock's circuit.

I followed the Pelican tech article to fix the "early" style 914 clock, and it was incredibly easy -- took maybe 15 minutes.

I am not positive how similar the early (electro-mechanical i.e. non Quartz) 911 clock is to the 914 clock, but probably about the same inside. After all, same manufacturer and same era. I simply exchanged my clock for a newer Quartz one, which has been running non-stop for years now.
