Several years ago I almost caved in and bought the tach that has the red football; I believe someone said that style was used in the '50's. The text style didn't match very well either. This thread has motivated me to search again. Thanks again, Clarke |
Re: Very lucky Clock/Tach EBay purchase
I actually bought a couple of those with the football on it(RC-50) . I ended up installing one on a 66 GMC because my customer liked the way it looked, the numerals actually match closer with the clock, not all that bad and any RC-50 is good substitute for the RC-5A Tach.

Well for some unknown reason I wasn't able to access the site. Finally got thru!
Here are few more photos on how this was mounted. Clock does not work. |

The clock does not work and had this written on the side, plus the name "woodworth" and here are the mounting screws used.

Re: Very lucky Clock/Tach EBay purchase
It looks like someone made their own brackets mounted on top of the factory brackets as a wedge to hold the housing and also set a screw on top of the cluster to lock the clock in place. The clock I got dates to June 1962 it also didn't work so I sprayed a little WD-40 then it started working. As an alternative clock, Studebaker used one also in the early 60's I think in their "Hawk" other than a black bezel and less bolder numerals of the same font that clock was identical. I picked one up back in 1993 for about $20 at a swap meet and the seller had no idea what it was for, I bought it because it reminded me of the GMC/Borg clock. I'll post some pics of it later.
