Hi friends,
For my '71 Newport I was looking for a clock. It was a lot car from Florida originally, and had no options except for AC.
So I wanted a clock that would work and keep time accurately. This almost immediately excluded the original clocks. I bought defective one though, for the original look
And disassembled it. I replaced the clock mechanism with a DCF radio controlled unit. This works on a Atomic clock in Germany that broadcasts it's time over a 77 kHz radio signal throughout Europe.
It always keeps perfect time and goes automatically to daylight savings time and back. This is what it looks like in the dashboard:
The knob doesn't do anything anymore.
Happy driving!
Arnold.
