Hey Guys,
I have a 1938 Chevrolet Borg clock that I am wanting to put the light bulb and socket into. However I do not currently have a socket for the clock in my possession. Does anyone know where I can find one or is there a replacement that I can put into it?

Thanks

If the clock is not wired in already, I'd take it to NAPA and try to get one that fit. They have dozens of replacement sockets in the store.

Not sure what you need but you may find the socket here . They sell the same sockets used elsewhere on the 38 but I don't have a clock to compare.

I can sneak out to the garage and snap a picture of the socket on my '38 if that'll help.

Yeah, if you would take a picture that would be great. Napa wasn't quite sure what to look for so hopefully this will help them.

Thanks,

Y n Z in Redlands, CA, A wiring harness supplier, supplied me with the bulb socket for my 39 clock, The local NAPA jobber ordered the bulbs.

I checked YNZ's site before taking the pictures. They didn't show anything remotely like the socket in my '38.

I can take some pictures and email them to you but of course the clocks and sockets may be different. My clock is the manual wind up for a 39.

I found one I believe will work. Give me your email address and I will send a picture of it. Bob.


Contrary to the rumors, I'm making great progress on the bulb. So far I have found 169 things that won't work.---Thomas Edison.
