I wanted to give PAPANICK (and USPS Priority Mail) a pat on the back for fixing my speedometer. I found an Ad in the Ford Barn Model A Classifieds for restored speedometers. I received a quick reply from him stating that he could repair my speedometer.

I send my speedo off for repairs from Ca on Tues and it arrived in NY on Thur AM. Before I had my cup of Jo this morning Jr had sent me an email advising it had been repaired and he was sending it back out today!!!
Great service, and quick communication.

If you need any help with your speedometer give him a go............

He has done 2 for me. Very quick turnaround and very reasonable. He got them to within 2 mph on the gps. They had been off by almost 12mph.

I was going to try to repair mine but learned I didn't have the patience, and time to invest. I did try to fix it, but I think I made it worse and I got my fingers out of it.

Sent the speedo off to PAPANICK a few days ago and he already has it repaired and it's on it's way back now. He even offered to help me fix it myself, but i'm installing a turn signal kit and trouble shooting the dreaded foam in radiator issue and I want to get my A back on the road ASAP.

PAPANICK is very reasonable and he communicates very well during the process. He was even nice enough to roll the odometer where I wanted it. Nice to know there is still good ole fashioned service out there these days. Don't see it very often anymore.

I'll ditto the previous posts!

Can't believe the PapaNick superfast service! and great turnaround time!

Just sent my Vicky speedo in Priority Mail on Saturday (Aug 3rd) He received it in New York on Monday (Aug 5th), repaired it, and sent it back Priority Mail and I received it on Wed. Aug 7th.
Speedo looks and works great...speed setting is as good as modern speedos and the Odometer works great as well. Checked both with GPS and are very accurate.

Would highly recommend..Great value for the professional repair. He also has great communication!

Any licensed, seasoned, experienced speedo technician can repair & calibrate a Model A speedometer. It's NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. Bill W.
