I am sure I saw a recent posting offering the repair of Veglia Borletti clocks. Thought it was under Restoration Projects. Can anyone point me to this or whom I might contact?

The vendor is in parts for sale search clocks

I believe: Palo Alto Speedometer

Just talked to a watch repair guy about this today

All I did with mine was cleaned it wit compressed air and applied a small amount of lube that I use for the slider mechanisms on my inkjet printers: working. I'm sure any clock clock repair guy can fix yours.

Mine also just needed a nudge and a drop of thin oil.

Thanks for the replies! I really appreciate DIY suggestions. Is there a method to removing the front bezel without bending it unnecessarily?

No. (joking!) Maybe someone knows how but I used a dremel part way around the back edge until I could get the front off and then used
JB Weld to put it back together. Not optimal but it got the job done.

Here's my write up:
Hurray - I finally fixed my clock glass.

Well, I started with a broken donor clock that had clear glass. I used a small screw driver to pry back the aluminum ring. Very slowly all the way around. Then I used a slightly larger screw driver and repeated the process, and then removed the outer ring. I then took the clock apart to try to get to the gear behind the "set knob". But, I broke the tip of the setting stem off in the process. Good thing this was a broken donor clock. Anyway I was able to slide the glass off.

Here is a picture of the clocks innards.


I then repeated the same process with my working clock to get the glass out. However, the internal design of my working clock was different. I was able to remove a very tiny retaining washers, and then remove the setting pin, and then remove the glass. Here is a picture of the old glass.



I swapped the cloudy glass for the clear, and then re-assembled my good clock. However, I was not able to get the tiny retaining washer back on the setting pin. However, it did not seem to impact the clock at all, so I think I am ok.

And finally - my new glass!!!


wow - it makes the dash look new, but now my other gauges look old. Oh well - my clock is cool at least.
