Clock repair recommendations

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a place to have my clock restored? It works on occasion and I think it's time (no pun intended) that I get it fixed.

I found a local clock repair shop but he has asked me what the amperage draw is for the clock and I have no idea how to answer that. I obviously know the voltage (6 V) but have no idea what the amperage would be.

Thanks for the help,
Crin

Don't recall ever seeing specs on Borg clocks which is the one most often used. For what its worth, almost all were fused with an SFE-2 fuse. In 53 they went to the AGA-3 fuse probably due to the SFE-2 amp being harder to find (and it seems to be completely gone today) and the AGA was still able to use the same size holder. I would guess the current draw for the clock is around 1 amp max and unless the winding mechanism is sticking, that is only for a few milliseconds.

Cannot offer a recommendation for servicing but there are some comments in this thread maybe worth looking thru.https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=198687&keywords=borg+clock

Not sure if it matters with the clock, but make sure they know the car has a positive ground
