VDO Quartz clock
Does anybody know when VDO clocks changed from non-quartz to the Quartz type?
Thx! |

VDO's January 1974 catalog shows both quartz and non-quartz clocks, and says "Many car manufacturers have changed their equipment to quartz time clock, such as Mercedes, Porsche, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW."

Randy,
Looking at the PET, I find: 1965 -> 1967 Part number 901-741-702-01 - I think this is the spring operated green faced unit; 1968 -> 1969 Part number 901-741-702-02 - I think this is the spring operated black faced unit; 1970 -> 1972 Part number 911-641-901-00 - I think this is another spring operated unit (if I am not mistaken, I recall PWD72S wrote that his '72 was sprng operated); and 1973 -> 19?? Part number 911-641-701-29 - This is a quartz unit like the original one in my car.
