A tool I use for desoldering was a gift from a friend who used to do circuit board work. Go look for a “solder sucker”. Once the solder melts you put the tip next to it and press a trigger that releases a pre-sprung plunger inside and POOF solder is cleared from the surface and the component will come out easily. That’s for the episode BJ, we know how busy you are 😁👍🏻
Same repair on the clock in my 1987 924S. Used a couple new old stock capacitors that I bought from Radio Shack years ago. I hope they hold up for awhile!😃Also went with LED lights for the clock and oil pressure gage, next up is the instrument panel.
Nice fix BJ! A broken clock seems to be required for a classic car though!😂 As already pointed out, cheap de-soldering braid is a must and be sure to use rosin flux, not acid flux (that is for copper plumbing).
once again attention to detail..i suffer from wanting everything to work on my vehicles..you have an OCD character in your work..it is a passion i say...
Did your clock tick before the repair? Mine does tick when installed but doesn't move. Have had it apart to look for broken pieces but didn't find any. Might just try with installing new capacitors since they're cheap, just hate taking it apart :P

Oh I want one! Will definitely try to get one on order
The gentle approach and a ticking clock gives this video a hint of Allen Millyard, which can't be bad. Thanks for making it.
Can't go wrong there! Allen's videos are soothing
Listening to this while I install ITB's on my 944.
Niiice!

🤘🤘
great job! another way to tell with components is the longer leg is typically positive.
I didn't know that!

Done as you showed now the clock works 💪 thanx m8
Heck yeah! Really happy it worked for ya!
Nice job BJ 👍👌❤️
Thank ya
Get yourself some desoldering braids / wicks, but well done
Yeah I definitely need some. On the list for sure
Could you by any chance tell me which one is power and which one is ground on that clock
I show it throughout the video actually

Yeah the non working clock really bothered me and I love the function of it. Definitely ocd

I believe it did try to. I think something inside had motion but not like it should have
@@tangentsbhb Thanks! And thanks for a great visual guide!
