Update 12/15/2018
This post now redacts a glowing endorsement of this vendor. Time has shown since the initial post that although this vendor does excellent work, there has been spotty communication and lengthy delays on more than one transaction. As a result, please exercise your own due diligence in working with this vendor. Thank you. |

Wanted to forward along the contact info for Cory @ Specialty Gauge. They restored my clock to 100% as new condition while keeping the original movement (Non-Quartz). The hands were refinished along with new glass & bezel at a very reasonable price. They are based in VA and had the work turned around in 3-4 days from receipt of the part. So great to have a working clock back in the car. I would definitely use them again for any gauge restoration. Willing to share the cost? I'm thinking about restoring my non-functioning clock. |

Actually found him on Ebay through the below link. It was extra for the lens & bezel replacement so more in the range of $150 for all the bells & whistles. I was quoted more than double that locally and they would have had to switch over to a quartz movement. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-911-912-91...Diq&vxp=mtr |
