Default 'Rebuilders'? Am I tooo Picky?

My latest go around with a 'Rebuilder' of my 90 mph '32 Stewart Warner speedometer- Photo provided of a $190 job!! Broken glass, dirty original face and odometer numbers, and uncleaned/polished bezel. All by a 'Big' name Speedo guy in the Mid-west.
This is the latest of poor quality 'Not as Manufactured ' Rebuilds/repairs. I expected Concours qualities- like anodized carb finishes [not painted], correct parts 91-99, Fuel pumps that have factory type gaskets/diaphrams [ not home cutouts]. Radios/clocks that actually work [advertizes in the V8 Times, and stole the extra 8 tube core]. If not concours quality they better own up to that standard ahead of our jobs. Some rant, Newc
