buick clock

does anyone know how or what the dash clock works off of in a buick roadmaster?

 

uhhh......what year...2009 or 1909?

 

1942, my bad

 

6 volts

 

yep 6volts

 

it does run off 6 volts. I believe it's a 6 volt winder on a standard clock

 

that was my answer.....6 volts..there is 2 wires going to the clock,,,,one for light...one for clock works

 

yea i see the 2wires and the pull out to set the time

 

so do i just set the dial at the time and wind the post up?

 

there is a cover on the back of the clock thatu can move it over t the "f or to the "s"
i set the time and tried to wind itccw and cw u could here it tick a couple a times then it stops, the light works on the clock

 

probably needs cleaning....

 

does anybody know what the f and the s stand for on the clock

 

Fast and slow... You adjust it so the clock keeps the right time.

Tic

 

hahahah....i guess u just never know

 

anybody want to try and help me out w/ setting the time? do u actually wind it up?

 

For best results, take that clock out and get your local watchmaker to clean it for you and test it. He can set it for F or S and you just reinstall it and know what time it is as long as the battery and mainspring last.
