Yep, did all that, checked voltages, poked and prodded, got bored, gave
up, Velcro'd CVS clock to dash. I have a lead on a spare working one
nearby and will pick it up tomorrow. Fingers crossed, I'll have a
fully-functional dash! Except for the dash light dimmer which I fried in
a wonderful cross-wiring mishap. Haven't found a situation where dimming
the dash lights was needed, anyway, so I wired the thing full-on.
