Hello, Just got my clock working after following the advice of d500neil on a thread from 2/26/2011. he suggested a bit of WD40 to the mechanism. I've done that, the clock is now working, although it is going way too fast. Any ideas on how to slow it down? I should add that there was no wire to the positive post of the clock, couldn't find a wire on the loose so just ran a jumper from the glove box light supply wire. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Pull out the adjuster knob and hold it in the outward position while turning the clock rearwards. As I remeber 12 hours equals 1 minut retard. Anyway, test it
