anyone know how to repair a 1973 clock?
the clock in my delta 88 1973 does not work
I opened it and if I push back and forth the rocker for the seconds niddle then it works. But if I give the 12 volt power to the clock it does not make the rocker move. Any one know where I can buy a new one or get it repaired ? |

That is a pretty good website find there, lots of info. mine hasn't worked in a couple of years either. But I noticed some the 1980 deltas' dash boards have a DELTA88 logo there instead of the clock. So I will probably just cover it up heh heh. I'm so used to looking at my cell phone now anyway.

There was a company around here that rebuilt old GM radios and 8 track players like brand new a few years ago. My friend's father used to use them.
I figured if mine ever had a problem I would just ask him where he took his. Well... Now he has passed away, and of course, my 8 track player has as well.....

if the battery runs out i think you have to short them somehow because they were electrically wound, not sure, but when i did this to my 55, it is still keeping time. i would Google before you trey this because if it is not electrically wound it could bust.
