Gauge repair
I've used Baxter Ford in the past but they don't do gauge repair any longer. Who are you guys using?
Thanks, Heard

Re: Gauge repair
BobWells Novelty Shop has done a great job for me on 30's and 40's gauges.

Re: Gauge repair
Williamson's Instruments, Inc.
I've never used them but they quoted a fair price on repairing the water temp gauge in my '39 p/u with a cut off capillary tube. I've also heard good things about them either here on the Barn or over on the HAMB or both. Might be worth checking them out. http://www.williamsons.com/ (479) 369-2551 Phone, (479)369-0127 Fax Open M-F 8-5 CST

I worked with Ron Belies at Williamson's and they do good work at a fair price.

Re: Gauge repair
I used Williamson's for a quartz conversion on two clocks and they did a super job. And the prices were better compared to others I looked at

Re: Gauge repair
I found a new ( NOS ) in original box on E-Bay for 20 bucks, it works and looks like the other gauges in my 41 dash. Al

Re: Gauge repair
I used Bob's Speedometer Service in Howell Mi - Does nice work, most of the ones you see for sale need rebuilding -he will completely rebuild/rechrome etc. and warranties his work, I would use him again. Depending on what you want done will determine final cost.

Re: Gauge repair
Heard,
I was contemplating a rebuild on my 52 F1 speedo and got shortness of breath at the quotes. Found a used one on E-bay for $20, also found the amp-fuel-temp-gas gauge cluster for another $20. Bought both, speedo works great. Chap |

Re: Gauge repair
"Chap52" - Even if he "O/P" doesn't find anything, I think that's a pretty good link. Thank you.

Re: Gauge repair
Thanks for all the replies you guys.
Yes, I'm aware of the ebay listings and watch those but most of the time the description says 'untested'. I already have one of those.... I did, however, buy a NOS '36 fuel gauge on ebay that works fine. I WISH I had paid $20 for it.
