I see clocks for Vanagons go on ebay all the time for under $15.00.  It is very easy to swap a newer working one for the failed one.

Hi All,

Since I have had zero luck finding a 1985 guage
cluster with tach I am wanting to know if there is a
generic sorta thing that happens to the analog clocks
that makes them quit.

If there is, what's the fix?

Thanks!
Brian
