Has anyone found one that will fit the dash opening and look like it belongs?

Re existing clock: Years ago, I did the winder upgrade (diode and capacitor). So that part works. I have washed the clock mechanism (a little detergent in an ultrasonic bath). Oiled it carefully. It works. But hard to adjust and occasionally doesn't run. Just getting old.
Try www.clockworks.com, they sell clocks of all sizes and types. Pull he, replace the innards, live happily ever after.
