    Thanks

    Eurospares says it's a factory order, that's as good as saying we don't have any and the factory doesn't either.

    Go to eBay, buy a clock (cheap) for an old Fiat 124 Spider, and transfer the 308's face and hands.

    Good luck unless you're an clock expert. It's totally different from 124 and 308. Face and knob are not the same. There's an outfit in Los Angeles charged me $350 just to get my Fiat Dino clock to work. Had to wait for 3 months. It ran for a week and died after that. Now to make it runs, I have to knock hard on the dash a few times. I don't bother to send it back afraid they will want more money. You better off find a correct running clock may be from Big Tex. $500 for a good clock might be a bargain.

    I would take Big Tex up on his offer. Spent the last month looking for one myself. eBay priced for working ones is $600-800. I have one that I am replacing the crime ring and the set knob on, that one was $300 because it’s functioning, but needs cosmetic work.

    If you’re feeling adventurous, and have spare time, the thread on doing this is here:

    https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/308-clocks.290507/page-2#post-144460409

    Having had a go, it is all rather fiddly, but I did get my clock going with a few drops of proper watch lubricant. The pivots get gummed up after 40 odd years. and you maybe better just buying from bigTex……

    good luck.
    Mark.

    With all the things I'm seeing so far - coupled with the rarity - this is a 'steal'.

    If the clock runs after banging it, there is a good chance that it will start running if you pull the knob out (or maybe push it in, just which ever direction you need to set the clock)(make sure you pull-or-push it all the way) and give the knob a few good jiggles.

    Turns out that those old clocks have a mechanism to "restart" the clock, and the mechanism relies on an electrical contact in the knob mechanism. That contact can oxidize/corrode, and need a little "scraping" to get it working again...

    I am putting a hidden switch for the clock in my Dino 246 so I can turn it off. No need for it to run 24/7/365/decades.
