Re: Clock Resto? and dimming lights...

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

There's not too much to the old 'clunk-click' clocks, Dave.  There was a
lengthy post on mending them - usually dirty points or fusible link needs
re-soldering.  The grey rubber material is a seal.  I'm sure I could help if
you can't manage.

Hi Pat, I was wondering what had happened to you....! I have a clock in my
'70 Notch which appears to be u/s. I have tried removing the two small nuts
on the back to remove the plastic cover, but it appears to be held by the
grey/white round thingy (to use the technical term!). This means I haven't
been able to check the infamous fusible link. The car only has 20,000 miles
on it, but has stood for some 16 yrs, so I wonder if the clock has died from
lack of use.

I can't ask you or Jim to look at it, as I'm the wrong side of the pond. I
don't suppose you know anyone over here (UK) who's a whiz with clocks?
Speedograph Richfield can look at it, but they want about £60 ($90), and
they specialise in Brit stuff, not VW / VDO.

Any suggestions?
