Mike A couple of things I found out with my 81 clock: 1)the plastic pins are quite breakable, I got a set of stainless steel pics from http://www.delorean-steel-products.de/frmsetel.html 2. Taking the clock apart is easy, the front cover pops off...yes, you may break the plastic pins, but as noted above, you can replace them with stainless steel pins. Once I did that and cleaned it up, worked fine (connections had to be cleaned. 3. Make sure the previous owner didn't disconnect the clock somehow....thinking that it would drain his/her battery I have an extra clock that I bought from Josh Haldeman (that works) when I thought mine was kaput....but turns out it wasn't.
