Quartz Clock Conversions?????

[Heybuck]

Some time back I had my '65 Bonneville clock converted to a quartz movement.

The people I had do it were by the name of Dave & Kathy Lindquist and they did a fantastic job. I'm really pleased with it.

Now I want to get the clock in my '65 Parisienne Convertible done (same clock as a '65 Impala) and at the same time I have a friend with a '65 Corvair Monza who wants his clock converted but we cannot find these people.

Anyone got any recommendations for people who can do this and do a good job?

Thanks

Buy the kit yourself from OPG for around $50 and do it yourself. I did mine it is pretty simple.

These guys are very good. They converted a clock for my old '65 GP, plus I've had them restore tachometers and speedometers for several other cars and motorcycles with excellent results.

What did they charge you for the restoration services?

It's been a few years so I don't recall exactly, but the last job they did for me was a resto of a combination speedometer/tach for one of my old bikes. I gave it to them literally as a box full of stripped gears and loose parts, and it came back looking like NOS. If I remember correctly it was around $250 or so for that, which was still cheaper than buying an NOS one (as if I could have even found one.)

Thanks Guys,

Posting this notice must have triggered something because I just heard back from Dave & Kathy Linquist http://forums.performanceyears.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I've been trying for 14 days without a reply and then tonight they responded!!!!

They have replied........

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">I think the Corvair Corsa dash comes with a Borg clock. If so, the cost
would be $70 to put a quartz movement in it. Most Corvairs come with a
Westclox unit. If that is the case, the cost to quartz this clock would be
$120.00. In both cases, the clock will be adjusted with the face know and
it will run on the 12 volt system.

From memory they charged me about $70.00 for my Bonneville clock so that seems fair to me. I'll be sending them the clock on Monday.
