[Chrysler300] L Clock

[Doug Mayer <mobydoug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

300 Club member of the L persuasion,

I am seeking a clock for a 300L.  I suspect that any 65 Chrysler  
clock will fill the bill, so long as all the gear teeth are present.


I took the advice of fellow members Barber, Hill, Jones, and Warnaar  
this morning. I had perfect light, and gentle solvents, and lots of  
patience.  When I was done the old clock just gleamed.  I set the  
winder and gave the balance wheel a nudge.  It was perfect.  It  
ticked.  It tocked.  Never would hear it in the car, but in a quiet  
room in the woods of Maine, it sounded like a small old clock should  
sound.  I measured the car clock against a modern clock.  The car  
clock--in the best 300 tradition--was going significantly faster.  So  
I followed Ray's instructions about setting the stem and works back  
24 hours.

It was then I noticed that in that series of gears, there is one gear  
missing several teeth.  I don't see any that I can glue back on.

If anyone has a 65 clock that he would sell for not many US dollars,  
I would be grateful.

Thanks for the fixit help, and in advance for any clocks you may offer.
