The solder joints in the clock just go bad with time. I managed to fix mine by resoldering every point in the cluster.

I did that too, worked quite well... then I installed too much crap in my regular electronics area (gauges, etc). Now my clock continually reads 1:00 Sometimes it will work, but then something happens and it will reset to 1:00. I think it's a ground issue I caused, which is to be expected with the time constraint I was under when I installed the gages.
