I finally got around to pulling the non-working clock out of my car last night. About an hour later it was working on the bench. I cleaned the contacts, lubed it and took the mainspring out and rewound it. Now the only problem is it runs fast by 15 minutes per day. I'm glad I didn't convert it to a quartz movement as it's kind of cool to see the second hand move properly.

I actually had another clock I picked up at the local junque yarde for $2 out of a '71 Cutlass, and it is totally different. The housing, movement, retaining rings and even the lens are different. My original is on the left.

If anyone knows how to adjust the speed please let me know.
