Default Odometer is down...Send it to whom?

Speedometer works fine.
Do I send the whole speedometer unit and to whom?

I can pick up a used complete speedometer unit without speed alert buzzer.
I have the speed buzzer option.
Would you fix it the old unit or save it for the next guy,if there's a next guy and pick up the used unit for under $90?

Call Corvette Specialties of Maryland in Eldersburg, MD...north and west of Baltimore. Ask for Brian Tilles, the owner. Does excellent gauge resto and repair. Super guy too. Don't have # handy. Call information Area Code 410. Chuck

Thanks Chuck.
I just called.
Didn't talk to Brian but to a woman who seemed knowledgeable.
Price to fix should cost under $100.
Not bad considering the speed control option.
Now I hope I lose my bid on ebay!

Probably talked to Vanessa, Brian's wife. Nice girl. Knows the business too. They do nice work. I'll go out on a limb here, but I would guess that they do virtually all the gauges for all of the Baltimore/Washington Corvette people. They do a tremendous mail order business too. Brian's not only a Corvette businessman, he's also an enthusiast/NCRS member. Has a 5 Star Bowtie 66 big block coupe, as well as a new C5. Chuck
