Console Clock Second Hand Question
To my surprise I actually found a Camaro console clock at the junkyard. I have it in pieces repairing it, restoring it cosmetically and resurfacing the lens.
I had a question about the second hand for anyone who knows about these clocks. Does it tick or sweep? When I took the clock apart the second hand was bowed upwards like a banana (Unknown to me this was because of sun damage). I figured it was just bent and tried to bend it back straight but it shattered into about 5 different pieces.
I am debating fabricating a second hand for it or running it with just the minute and hour hands.

It ticks....second hand moves. It should still run fine with the remaining hands however....

I copied this from a post I made in 2005:
You're in luck. I did some research a while back and found the only source for parts and service for these clocks. Originally made by Wesclox, the entire inventory of parts was purchased by "the Clock Doc" (800)256-5362. Bill is the contact. He may be able to repair yours or sell you a reconditioned one. He also can mill the face of the clock so it looks like new again.
Good luck,
Lon

Re: Console Clock Second Hand Question
Meguair's headlight restorer with sanding pad works pretty well to restore and bring clarity back to the face.
A little squirt of WD-40 to the clock mechanisms keeps it running smooth. Just my 2 cents.

I just used plastic polish I picked up. From Autozone...but I bet the headlight restorer works well too!
