[Hoss3.0]

Well using info gleaned from the tech articles on this site I decided to have a look at my VDO clock to see if there was anything I could do to fix it. Low and behold, the solder connection had let go. I didn't have any low temp fusing point solder on hand (120 deg C) but there was still and tiny bit left on the contact points. I aligned the points to where I needed them (sprung down until they touched) and just barely made contact with the solder gun. Voila!!! It worked. I plugged the electrical connections back in and heard the momentum disk "flip" and start the ticking. Awsome. It took about an hour all together but if you know what your looking for it could likely be done in about twenty minutes. The clock is still ticking and only time will tell if it continues to do so (sorry I couldn't resist).
