Subject:      Early Vanagon Analog Clock repair:$2 in parts & procedure
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"

My 1984 analog clock was broken.  The hands never moved.  I read in
the archives it can usually be fixed by replacing the two capacitors
approx $2.00 in parts (Radio Shack part number 272-1044).

I had the dash apart to add an external tach so I figured I would try
and fix the clock.

The new capacitors made my clock work like new!

It takes between 1 and 2 hours to replace them.  It is not too
difficult but you have to be comfortable with a soldering iron (and
de-soldering procedures).

Here's how to do it:
