Guys,
I'm trying to decide what to do with the clock from my 69. I had it restored a few years ago and I recently installed the center console during my restoration and the clock wasn't working so I pulled it and sent it back to the restorer. When it came back it worked off and on for a few days and then stopped. I just spoke to them and they said pull it and send it back, which of course is a super hassle but I'm trying to decide what to do. He said given the repeated problems he can replace the mechanism with a functioning one and it SHOULD be ok, or he can replace it with a quartz movement and fix it for certain. My question is if I'm planning on having the car judged should I worry about the change in the sweep of the second hand from the factory to the quartz mechanism? Think I can live with a small deduction if it means never having to take apart the console again but wondering if this is something that is even judged or not.
