Broken clock.

Dude, how much for one of those clocks? My digital clock just recently started giving me problems, and it would be nice to have a nice, accurate clock. Did you manage to get any new chrome strips for the door panels? I'd kill to have non-peely chrome!

I have a few door panels,15 or 20, various colors and body styles, i have to make a catalog of them, with the correct application and colors next week, a new panel is the solution to the peeling chrome .
Also i have a lot of plastics, for the 4 and 3 doors models in various colors, once again, i will make a catalog and post them in the for sale section.
The price of the clock will be around u$d 100 plus shipping, i can confirm the price next monday.

urm wow I wish I could afford one of those clocks. Kinda out of budget for now. :-P But yes a catalog would be sweet. Any red interior bits?

Sorry, those are the best pictures i could snap with my crappy phone.

Can they be sharpened using a edition tool?

I have a spare non working clock, but I'm pretty sure the gears are still fine. I gotta recheck tho.

So I am looking for a working analog clock for my 77. Anybody have one?

if you find one with the gears check to make sure something isn't jammed in the mechanism, gears don't usually just strip for no good reason, you would be amazed at what kids will jam into things. If you have something in there and you don't get it out the new gears may also strip

Just spotted this thread again & thought I should add my findings upon my Digital 'drum' clock(s).

There were actually two versions of these and they look near identical externally, though the earlier version actually has 2 separate circuit boards (instead of one like that shown earlier by 1GCustomAccord), and a number of the drive cogs from motor to revolving drum are also different & not interchangeable.

Looking closely at the clear revolving drums they have a ring of gear teeth upon the right side and the minute drums also have a pair of teeth upon their left to engage with and trip another gear between the drums to turn the next drum around for the next digit/number every 10 minutes between 5 & 6 numerals on the right drum, or hour, between the 0 & 1 numerals of the middle drum.
One of these teeth had broken off on my clock, the earlier clocks probably more prone to this problem as I noticed that the later clocks teeth had been extended further inward towards the center axis of the drum, and inwards behind the numeral area, making them much stronger.

To fix this problem I dis-assembled the clocks metal cage by bending their retaining tabs (the split 'teeth' at front bottom are particularly fragile but it will survive without one if it breaks) to remove the revolving drums. I had some scrap acrylic plastic strip (conveniently 1.5mm) that I could cut and file into the required shape (extended 2mm as-per the later design), and glue to the drum, replacing its missing tooth. The clock was re-assembled (and dis-assembled) again and turned though its usual cycle via the adjustment wheel, to confirm my new tooth was the correct size and shape to work properly without binding and locking up the whole clock assembly, filing my new tooth as required.
Once assembled my clock worked fine... although the next one I tried also appeared to have some electrical problems I have not yet resolved...
