A fellow mistakenly listed a Sterling electric clock for the 31 on ebay as a vintage aircraft clock. It is in the box and I think it may be unused? Anyway, nobody bid so I got it for $30 which I'd say is a steal! Anyway, not I need to know how to hook it up and the best hotwire to use? Anyone know?

Hi zoolou,

Assuming that the clock did not come with wiring a harness, one should be made that includes an "in line fuse holder" with a 4 amp fuse. This is to be connected to the binding post on the back of the clock and the other end connected to the amp gage. Keep in mind that this connection is "HOT" all the time and with the car unused for long periods the clock can run your battery down eventually. It is a good idea to remove the fuse when the car is in storage.

PS: Do you wish to double your money?
