Warren:

Thanks for the suggestion. I would think that you are correct in the power requirement and I will start with a 0.25 amp fuse and see how it goes.

From all the tech articles, it seems that this joint is the primary problem with all these clocks and if this external fuse cures the problem I'll post my results. Although quartz works better, I just like mechanical clocks and watches (I wear an old 1960's Omega Constellation daily) so it will be sort of a challenge to making this one work. However, I may end up having to submit to the new clock if I want one that actually tells time on my dash.

Thanks
