    Info needed...... I have a clock here with a grey adjusting knob but most I have seen have a black one. Does the colour of the knob relate to any specific series/model?

    Mate all the clocks I have that still have their knob attached the knob is grey.... all appear to be painted grey as when I scrape them they are black underneath or you can see where the paint has worn off from too much knob handling.....

    Twiddle your knob too much and it'll turn black.....or worse still... it may break off from over use...

    Lucky dip I got in the mail today. Got some handy HJ-WB gts clock parts amoungst a heap of interesting screws etc. There appears to be parts of a HQ GTS clock, but never having seen one I am only guessing.

    Hey Wbute,

    Just checking if you still have a hold of any of these clock parts? I'm trying to fix my blue needle clock GTS clock, and I'm looking for 1 plastic gear and the resistors you mentioned above. I've stripped my down and tested 12volt to the board and did get a brief hmmm but no movement.

    Heres a pic of the gear I'm chasing. It's the 2nd one down with the missing teeth.

    Heres the board with it's dodgy capacitor I think.

    I don't have any gears but you should be able to get the capacitors. I got some from jaycar and some from a TV repair place.

    How about a picture of the board. I forgot to take one and now I can't remember where the wires solder up...

    After years of owning heaps of cars with these dashes and fitting dashes to lots of utes and tonners, it appeared that the yellow needle (HZ-WB) clocks were more reliable. Is there any chance that the yellow needle clocks had any different parts or mechs in them, or just luck of the draw?

    cheers
