I can't get the clock to work to save myself and I'm not sure if I'm just not doing something right - the manual just says that it's not user servicable (I assume because the odo is in it) and that it functions like a "typical clock" but doesn't tell you how that is. There is a knob that spins (with a clicking sound either way) and it pulls in and out but I can't "start" it for the life of me. Wondering if it needs something similar to my marine chronometer where you have to flick it to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadfossil Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm not familiar with that particular clock. It would help if you could email me a picture of it so that I could see what we are dealing with. Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curti Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I know Bob, he is a professional and highly recommended. My only problem is, if he is working on your clock, he doesn't have time to do mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHAWK33 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Hello, I have a 57 Buick Clock that has been sitting for 20 years in the car. I don't know if it works. How much would you charge for cleaning, adjusting and possible restore to life if necessary. Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curti Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Unfortunately, Bob has a serious case of emphysema and has moved in with his daughter. I am going to have to find a good clock guy my self that makes the clock go tic-toc. NO quartz movement for me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
