[T3] 1972 clock repair info

[Dave Hall]

Sorry, I thought this was a personal email not from the list - there are
archives somewhere on vwtype3.org but I have never found how to get in!
Here are the URLs on my Type 3&4 Forum without the highlights, so they
should link with a click, being shorter.

Jim wrote about mending one of his transistorised clocks where the tiny coil
wires had a dry joint on the board.  I think he just put a small soldering
iron onto the circuit board coil connections and got them making good
contact again.  Maybe you'll be lucky.  I've certainly got a blown
transistor on one - I might do the quartz conversion instead of fiddling a
transistor in there and have it blow again!

Hi Jacob,
This thread tells you a lot about it.

repair

If the front area is Ok, you won't need this part, but here it is anyway.

Have fun!  It may just be gummed up - try a spray of WD40 first.  If it
doesn't work, it may have open circuits in either coil (green or red),
probably at the ends where they connect to the board, or a blown transistor.
Neither is easy to repair, but that may depend on whether you're a keyhole
surgeon!  The pendulum mechanism might be messed up.  

Cheers,
Dave.

I remember stumbling across a link (I thought it was on this site) about
repairing the clock on a 1972 Squareback.  I have searched for it and can no
longer find the link or the information.  Can somebody please direct me to
where this is (if you know what I'm talking about) or give me some pointers
on how to go about fixing my clock?

It is a black face VDO clock and, from my understanding, it is not the kind
that is easy to fix with a simple fuse repair.  Thanks,

Jacob
