Re: [T3] red needle clock

<x-charset iso-8859-1>First question:  Did this email make it to the list?
    I'm new :)

Greetings to the Type 3 list!

My name is Nate, I have a '73 Square that I pulled from a junkyard and have
given a new life!!!  She runs like a champ and shines like a diamond!
 - but can't keep time!

I saw the message about fixing clocks.
Mine is in good shape, the wiring is solid,
but neither the light or the clock works.

Could someone get me started in the right direction?

Thank you and I'm glad to be on THE list!!!
