QUOTE(FlacaProductions @ Dec 4 2020, 12:22 PM)  Just for your reference - here was my bill from 2019 at north hollywood. Wow, this was a LOT more reasonable than their ballpark of $1,800 - $2,800 to me back in February of 2019. Still insane, though. The gauges are pretty simple to disassemble, clean and touch up paint. That's probably what I will do to mine. |

That's probably what I will do to mine. Agreed, they sent me a ballpark quote like that too. $1800-2800 seems insane for 3 gauges. I will admit that I don’t know what all goes into their process, but I would love to see a parts/time breakdown $600-900 per gauge seems steep. Obviously they are getting that from people though. |

Much advice on here already. One other data point:
I had Palo Alto Speedometer refresh a 3-gauge 914 set back in 2014. They replaced bezels, new needles, cleaned the glass & fascia but did not touch or refurb any internals - and they charged $240 dropped off/picked up with tax. FWIW, - Tony |

I have used Palo Alto also, very good people. Sending some more out of my LE to them shortly.

Sooo, what I'm reading is the complete restored 6 gauge set I sold recently was a killer deal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
