small analog clock question... 200 1988

Do any of these work anymore? I bought one, installed it, and it worked one time for a few hours. It stopped the next time I started the car. When I fiddled with the wiring harness (clock end), it sparked and blew out my gauge cluster PCB - and gave me a nice little jolt as well. I transferred all my gauges over to a new housing and PCB, and now all is well on the panel. I also contacted the guy who sold me the clock and he sent me another one for free. I installed it carefully, fearing the same thing might happen. It went in okay...and this one even lights up....a little. However it only kept time for a few hours after it was first installed, and not since.

I wonder if there's something I'm doing/not doing with these clocks. All the connections are correct, and my tach is getting plenty of power. I have read that 75% of these pulled clocks no longer work. If that is the case, I think I will just pull it out and use my radio clock. I'm not so in love with it that I'll worry with the headaches of replacing the capacitors. Thanks in advance...

And thanks to everybody's recent helpful posts
