After 23 years of tireless work, the clock stopped in my '88 after only five months of pounding NYC ownership. I will be removing to see if I can effect one of the fixes that my search here turned up. However, I saw North Hollywood Speedometer's ad in Excellence and noted that they perform quartz conversions. Visiting the Palo Alto site I see that they also have this service. I use my car as a daily driver (work, soccer practices, Brazilian jiu jitsu!) so I like having a clock and a permanent fix might be preferred. Has anyone here done this?

Also, if you have a neat solution or unique replacement, I would love to see it!

I dont know if its original but my clock backing says "Quartz" on it so I was under the impression that the clocks were already quartz crystal based. If in fact it is a new clock or was converted, I will say it does work well, it keeps accurate time.

Same story in my 87 Carrera, quartz and works well

Crap. Sitting in my car now and the clock does indeed say "Quarz-Zeit". What I thought a "quartz conversion" meant was new guts powered by the type of battery found in a quartz wristwatch. I will call one or both of the speedo companies tomorrow and report back.

My 25 year old Carrera's clock keeps better time than any of my watches or clocks in the house. I've been seriously impressed.

What time is it?

Mine kept absolutely perfect time right up until it didn't.

I have quartz in my rock shop!
