Having watched Star Trek (Next Generation) over a number of years, I can
tell you that time anomalies (oddities in the space-time continuum) are
quite common in our quadrant of the universe. Each time you drive your van
or park your van near one of these anomalies it can affect your clock.

Actually, most folks replace their massive clock with a tachometer from a
later model van. Removal is a simple screw job (pardon), installing the
tach is a little tricky, but is covered in the archives.

Make it so...

Dear List,

My analog clock is losing time -- from time to time. Could it be a
combination of old age and the occasionally bitter cold weather we are
having here in MA? Should I try to lubricate, or is it better to replace?
In either case, how do I dismantle?  I have a spare cluster from my parts
car, so can practice on the bench. As I look at it, I am a bit daunted by
the printed circuit tapes (if that is what those electrical lines on
plastic are called).

TIA,

Woody
