Guest imported_41Kaddy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 The electric clock on my 1955 Eldorado does not work, my mechanic tells me the rewind mechanism is not working. Where do I go to get this repaired to working order. Is conversion to a quartz mechanism possible, and how do I go about that. Do Judges at national events (CLC, CCCA, AACA) deduct points for clock conversions to quartz? Your help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Cadi Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm looking for a replacement clock for my '67. I ran across these guys http://www.billsclockshop.comThey can fix them http://www.billsclockshop.com/repair.htmland the sell them http://www.billsclockshop.com/automobile.htmThere is another company that does they quartz conversion I had one in my Corvette, the second hand swept around instead of ticking off the seconds, it cost me a few point on the Vette. I'd imagine a Cadillac judge would be just as anal <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />.Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6219_Rules Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 That would not surprise me. I had the '47s clock redone with quartz but it ticks along nicely.No second hand to that one. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />I want to show my car but I am not into trying to get a senior status...I just love to drive my car and want it as original as possible for that purpose. I would probably get in the low 330s given the interior cloth and wood trim, and exterior paint are not 100% original. But the engine and drive train are! Still the car cuts a beautiful line on the highway! I get thumbs up the whole way along. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
