Now that winter is here and I have time for Christmas, I can tackle my RALLEY CLOCK. I found some killer info on fixing these problematic clocks. I do not want to convert to quartz as I want that windup sound to exist � I think that is cool!

Anyways, I have the info and the know-how, but I'm stuck � how do I get into the clock?? I have it out, in my hands, and it looks like I have to drill out rivets or grind them off? This seems unusual, as all other contained gauges are accessable. perhaps I can take some pictures tonight. I'm desperate � Has anyone elso done this themselves? I will not send it out.

thanks guys and happy holidays to all of you.

I have not done the clock before but this may help. I'm thinking of doing the quartz conversion myself. Here are the instructions for the quartz conversion, they explain how to get it apart. Hope it helps. http://rt-eng.com/mediawiki/images/3/3d/RallyeEbody_clockinstall.pdf

I've not touched my replacement rallye clock yet (I got a complete replacement rallye dash but haven't had time to work with it yet). I did however get my standard dash clock working again without disassembling it. There was nothing wrong with the solenoid, the works were just dirty and gummed up.

In my case carefully spraying with gun scrubber (kept off the painted face and being careful around the solenoid) followed by a gentler wash of the same or mineral spirits got everything moving again. I touched in some micro-kroil with a toothpick on obvious lubrication areas and was able to run it for 2 weeks in test. Worked just fine and kept time within 2 minutes over that period.

Brant,

Would you share that repair information with us, I may have to repair my clock also, but I do not want to go quartz. I like it the way it was also.

Thanks

I saw in the latest Mopar Muscle some company advertising that it will fix up the clocks the way you like - either quartz or as factory original. Can't think of what company it was, though. Boy, getting old sucks. I highly recommend not doing so if you can help it...

Its good to be able to search for information and get what you need. This site is the best. I got my clock adjustment knob off....................And was able to get the clock to actually run and keep time.
