Hi Dave,
If you or anyone one else may be concerned about "not" having a speedometer for several weeks or so while it is being repaired, the gentleman in above Reply No. 4 takes pride in giving customers immediate attention with quality work.
As mentioned previously on this Forum by others, this is his typical type of Model A speedometer service:
1. One mails him a speedometer on a Monday with the new USPS attention given to "insured U.S. Post Office Priority Mail", with a tracking number -- maybe $11.00 depending on one's distance from NY.
2. He gets it on the following Wednesday of the same week.
3. He repairs it on Wednesday, lubricates it, paints the case black with lacquer or a very fast drying paint, cleans & polishes the chrome & glass, applies new numbered decals, sets odometer to zero or whatever one wants, & usually places it back in insured "Priority Mail" that same Wednesday.
4. It arrives repaired on Friday -- maybe as late as Saturday depending on mailing distance & special repairs; but for me on two (2) occasions, it arrived on Friday of the same week after he told me he was not extremely busy these particular weeks -- really not many Model A owners needing speedometer repairs in the U.S.
If I had to guess, it appears that this gentleman finds repairing & restoring speedometers about as difficult a task as a young slim man finds in properly tying the shoe laces on his shoes.
Just thought I'd share a couple of good experiences with a nice Model A service.
