Just had both gauges out of my 39 pickup Refurbished but NOT restored. This entailed a complete cleaning, voltage step-down and repair back to full function as needed. Most of the gauges still were operable I was told. They came back looking just as I request and expected meaning CLEAN and Operable. The cost was close to $500.00 but it was exactly what I asked for and the gauges look like the very originals that they are. It can be harder and more time consuming to renovate instead of restoring IMHO. Restorations can be all shiny and new looking but that can be accomplished by paint cover ups etc. It sounds like a miscommunication to me.
