'72, rebuilderf or tach and speedo?
What are the current recommendations for a person or outfit that can:
Re silk screen teh dial faces
replace the lens
completely rebuild speedo and tach assembly to as new condition?
Not looking to have just the problems fixed, but a complete resto.
Thanks,
Doug

The gauges look exactly like the did new, back in 1937, both in color and style, but with modern movements, and new face plate that eliminated the alcohol thermometer.
This included making a silk screen template and rechroming the chrome
The price: $1600. Too be fair, the gauges has been exposed to weather for some 30 years before I had them redone, so there was probably a lot of making stuff from scratch, as parts are not available
I has some gauges for my '61 rebuilt by Corvette Instruments several years ago, that weren't quite as pricy, but they probably didn't need as much custom work.
Still looking for suggestions.
Thanks,
Doug

I've used
D and M in South carolina for several cars in the past. I've always been happy with their work.
I had a Tic Toc Tach rebuilt for my 70 Olds form Clockworks IIRC. Nice job and fairly priced as well

In the recent Vette Magazine (March 14) under "product review" they mention a place called instrument-specialties.com.
They claim to have the ink formulas from ac/delco's original vendor along with the original ac/delco art negatives. Also provide repair rebuild and calibrate. It further states you will impress ncrs or bloomington gold judges.
Don't know anything about the company but just noticed it today. Passing it along and can't recommend because I have not used them.
