The clock is not very difficult to fix. I've fixed 6 out of 7 by replacing two capacitors on the main circuit board with replacements available at Radio Shack at rip-off prices, but still cheap. The seventh one had a damaged gear. I have some instructions on my website about removing the instrument cluster and instruments. Removing the clock hands isn't as difficult as removing the needles of the other gauges.

I have a lot of stuff in storage now, but PM me and maybe I can dig up a working one.

BTW, all clock mechs as far as I know of the 70's-80's round, "embedded into tach" mechanisms such as that found on diesels, etc are the same. At the junkyard, the SL mechs cost 5x more!
