My car isn't exactly "turn key" yet so I don't know if it works, plus the wire didn't go anywhere. Also, how much is it worth in it's current state if it works/is broken?

WIND IT :? When I wind it clockwise nothing happens, and counter clockwise it clicks. I hope it's not broke, I need money. Haven't had a car since Christmas. ](*,)

Turning the knob clockwise should wind it.

That's just it, I don't know what it's worth. PO said he got offered $600 and someone else told me it was worth $800 and that's all I know. I wouldn't mind a turnkey 1600 though...

The wire is for the light.

If the light doesn't work, it's an easy fix. The Perohaus clock takes the exact same bulb & holder found on a VW speedometer
