    I know of Palo Alto Speedo. Any other that you may have had a good experience with?

    Thank you.

    I'm walking distance from Palo Alto Speedo and I've had a number of gauges restored there. Always been very happy with the result and turnaround time.

    I'm not thrilled with PA Speedometer - they used mixed trim rings on a set of gauges rather than source the correct one. I was clear that time was not an issue, but that didn't seem to register with them.

    I agree Frank, they "fixed" for me a wobbly Alfa Tach, they marred it, but as you say,
    no issue for them.

    I used North Hollywood and shipped them my gauges from the UK. They did a great job on them and returned them quickly and on the date they said. Very pleased with the results and good value.

    Is this for a general clean up rather than repair?
    If so, don't forget the intermediate harness that (on the Dinos I've seen) each instrument has a connector wired to one of two mother connectors (blue or green). With all those connectors and 40+ years of corrosion I went through each connector pair in Dino 05082. These gauges had never malfunctioned but the amount of corrosion warranted cleaning
