Jred Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 I’d love by p get the clock in my dash operating again. Looks like a used replacement on eBay is very expensive and a couple places I’ve spoken to that will take the job on around $250 to fix what ever is wrong. Are there any other suggestions from the forum? The clock is the original veglia borletti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantera928 Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 (edited) Here is what i bought a couple of years ago. Even is lit in red. Had to rig a pushbutton under the dash to make setting it easier but works well https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y9SY1DD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Edited February 14, 2023 by pantera928 add photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jred Posted February 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 That’s a nice one. Unfortunately it wouldn’t match my dash enough for my mental well being. The rest of my og gauges are in a more 60’s font. I’ll keep looking. I did find a post on another forum, Alfa Romeo’s I think, where the author exchanged the guts out from a modern version.

64studeavanti Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 What does it cost to change the internals to a quartz movement? The p.o. did that to my 64 and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The p.o. did that to my 64 and it works great. Looks like a basic conversion is starting at $130. I did just come across a YouTube of a guy restoring a 1967 clock. He explained that most the time it’s the pints that burn up when the battery gets low. He showed how he restored the points and used a 1-2amp fuse in-line to the battery Incase the battery ever runs low. I may try to open up my clock to assess the situation if I get time.

Ron Dame Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Fonts, schmonts... why they hell do they have to advertise that it's a clock, Pantera? That's enough to make me not want that, though maybe I could use my existing face on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say that it was designed for blondes but my wife would object.🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
