Default Speedometer repair needed

I have two 1969 speedometers that need repaired. The needle functions but the numbers don't turn. Looking for a reliable person or shop to make the repairs. Fred

There may be some supporting vendors that could help you. I know this person belongs to the forum, not sure if he is a suporting vendor or not but he could do the work.

I plan on using Roger for this task for my car but have not yet so I can not speak to his work. He said he could fix my speedo and reset the odometer to 0 if i wanted. he repaints the face too.

perhaps others can chime in on his work.

There is a great place that does that here in Tucson. I was a service manager for a year and they did all my gauges, a/c hoses, clocks, etc. Auto Tech in Tucson, AZ
