Speedo re-build. Recommendations?
 

1 Attachment(s)
I am looking to have my oval speedo re-built / repaired (not exchanged). The odometer hasn't worked for a while. The speedo worked for a while after a new cable, but now speedo doesn't work either. Glass and Bezel are in good shape.

Does anyone have a good contact or experience with this service. I saw the vendors listed in the sticky - but looking for feedback specific to your experience.

Papanick is a forum member and he rebuilds speedometers.

He rebuilt mine, it works great but only 200 miles so far since the rebuild.

Fast turn around..

I had Harry Warburton, also in the sticky, rebuild mine. I sent it to him and had it back in two weeks, all cleaned, calibrated; looks great and works well.

I had papa Nick rebuild three of mine. When I told him I had a box of used speedos he offered to buy them from me and deduct from the rebuild charge. Worked good for both of us. Wayne

Awesome, thanks. Interestingly I don't think he isn't listed in the sticky (is in the swap meet quite a bit). Maybe he should be added since he comes highly recommended.

There you go - Correct. I guess I didn't notice it because most are referring to his FB user name. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. Nichols refurbished mine with my original numbers. Cleaned lubed 3000+ miles works great.

Harry Warburton did a fine job on mine. Fixed my apparent problem plus a "found" issue. No extra dharge for the "found" issue. Good man to do business with, fast turnaround, fair pricing.
