A question for T34 razor experts
pfillery - February 4th, 2013 at 08:02 PM

How rare are the T34 dash clocks? The type with the ribbed bezel and the gold coloured centre. I've been offered one in my search for a good working type 3 clock. Since my plan is to modify the clock to fit in a Kombi, if this is some ultra rare accessory it would be a shame to hack it.

Any thoughts?

they are pretty rare, I wouldn't hack it. sell it to someone that has a t34:tu:

Is $30 a good price for one in really nice condition? In my quest for a type 3 clock I've been told (probably by those with one to sell) that a good type 3 clock is worth upwards of $80 at a swap meet.

Would a T34 clock because of the rarity of the vehicle be somewhat more valuable? After all they want $400 for a kombi clock.....

yes dont hack it. Plenty of Type 3 clocks on the Samba

I would buy the T34 clock for a reasonable price

I will find you a type3 clock and not charge you $80

In turn sell grey 57 the ghia clock...

; )

I won't be using the t34 since it doesn't suit the kombi decor with the gold trim. I have a couple of type 3 clocks on the way as well including a 6v, so should be one good one amongst them.

From what I understand the t34 clock is in very nice condition. Time will tell. No pun intended.

$400 sounds steep for a Kombi Clock!

Where did you get that price from?

Cheers,

400 is ridiculous.


thats what you would pay for a super rare NOS type 3 clock with heater timer.


I paid 240 for NOS type 3 clock, 12v but even that is getting up there in price.

Don't have a working type 3 clock or a bus clock, but if Grey doesn't want the T34 ill grab it! :tu:

all 6 volt T34 clocks have the gold (brass colour) central rings. Later 12 volt changed to silver colour central rings.The colour of the hands changes with the years - red early, white from '65 onwards.. Gold rings white hands = '65 and maybe '66, '67 went to 12 volt and silver rings white hands. The clock mechanism itself is generic type 3.
Price- what s/o is willing to pay!

Hi,

I have found a Bay Clock if you are still looking $130 is what I payed for it.

Cheers,
