Default Re: Clock Repair Recommendations Please

I had used Instrument Services Inc for the clock in my '55 Fairlane. I had them do a quartz conversion. No one can do a straight 6-volt quartz conversion, so they put in a transformer hanging off the outside of the clock in back. It shot craps just after warranty expired. They wanted to charge me another $110 to repair it. I ain't playing that game. I sent it to Williamsons who also does auto instrument repair and after that I sent them my clock and gauges with sending units for recalibration, I had them do an original restoration to the clock. No complaints. I suggest NOT doing a 6-volt quartz conversion. All these companies use sub-assemblies made in china for modern upgrades to clocks, radio's etc. And their stuff is junk.
