I've got one in my bus and I still need to wear a watch. It gains 5 minutes every day, even after I spent $90 getting it going. I have played around with the adjustment and this is as good as i can get it.
The only thing is if I notice that it is 30 minutes ahead it means I haven't driven me bus for 6 days.
I hate that!

If anyone gets offered a broken one, then have no fear, this guy at http://www.jdo1.com fixes and services them in double quick time for reasonable money.

My first plan was to replace the movement with a later quartz type but keep the original face, which I thought was reasonable, but all the experts here told me it was no go.
So if anyone knows any different please let me know.
With the wonders of the www and postal services I might outsource the wee jobby to the northern hemisphere.
Might be a lot of trouble for 5 minutes a day though.

Some years ago I had this done to a Type 3 clock. http://www.type3detectives.com did the job for around £30GBP. I assume it could also be done with a Type 2 clock? I since changed the Fastback it was in for a Squareback, but swapped the clocks, and it still works today, it runs on one AA battery.
