Hey Nick,
I have two clocks.
One is in car and works. However the stem to change time is broken, just turns but wont move hands. Also, the lens is cloudy.
The other clock is in a 'backup' dash I have. Not sure if it works as it's not in a car. Lens also cloudy.

Would like to send both to you for repair if you are still doing these reapairs.
Thanks,
Jack

Is there anyone still doing clock repairs? I have three clocks, one runs but you cannot set the time; the condition of the other two is untested, but the set knob on one works. I would be willing to swap them all plus a reasonable fee for one that is new or refurbished. Just send me a private message - not in a hurry.

Thanks

I apologize all for any delays in feedback....

You can send me a PM and I will try to respond, I travel a bit and sometimes I do not get all my emails read and replied to.

Yes I am still restoring the clocks and instruments as they come in, backlogged right now so there may be a 3-4 week delay before you get them back but worth the wait for the restored instruments.

Cheers,

Nick

Hello everyone. I just purchased a 79 Fiat Spider and I have been spending all hours of the day reading this forum. I am hoping that Nick can help me like he has helped everyone. From the pictures on here it looks like he does amazing work. Is there a good way to get in touch with Nick? Any help anyone can give me would be great.

Thanks,
Chris

I suggest you both PM and email Nick through his profile on this board. He did great work for me, but is an Aerospace pro, so may have had some job changes, given all the changes in that field.
Be patient - if you can get the work done by him you will not be disappointed.

Hi All,
I'm pretty sure Nick told me he was traveling due to his job. He will get to us all in time. He does do nice work. Regards, George

I think I'll send him my whole instrument cluster. Especially since I put in the LED's they really need some help. Once the weather completely turns here the car is sitting covered all winter anyway.

He does really nice work too. My clock came back amazing, especially after Scott and Ralph got power to it and it runs even!

He had stopped doing the clock repairs a while back because of family issues. This thread is 3 years old...

I was lucky to get mine repaired before he quit such work. Still works fine after sitting through two 20 below winters - one not powered and the other running all winter!

Without the repair option, you might consider using that spot for an oil pressure or other gauge, and install a mechless radio w/ a clock function.

Well hm there are so many other things that are more "up on my list". My clock runs but the adjust knob ...well it's still there but apparently not attached to any thing in the clock any more.... and the glass is pretty cloudy.
In fact I noticed all my gages are getting dust inside them more than there was "a bit" ago or am I noticing smaller things now that I am getting most of the oil leaks, lights working, grounds cleaned, wiper motor, relays installed, radiator fan, etc...
