I have a tip for you I'm sure Bob will back up. The clocks die mainly because two electrolytic capacitors dry up. This drying out affects this type of capacitor in all electronics, but the capacitors in the clock are particularly necessary to basic function. When it gets cold, their capacity decreases further, so most clocks start losing time when winter comes and suddenly come alive again when the car warms up.

So, what this means is, unless your seller indicates he's replaced the capacitors, you'll likely end up with another dying clock, of course, depending on the weather on the other side of the ebay transaction. Or try to get one from a late model "GL" car-- I think most small clocks were earlier rather than later made.
