I also recall that at the time when I sent out requests for quote (around last week of Nov, 2018), Bob's Speedometer told me that their clock guy was waaay behind, so I wouldn't be seeing my clock anytime soon if I awarded him with the bid.
Along with that, his prices for guage re-calibration were way higher than what Williamsons quoted. So I decided not to send the stuff to Bob. He rebuilt a '55 Ford wagon sending unit for me a few years back and does excellent work, but very expensive. Other than that, I don't think anybody else out there has a guarantee like Williamsons.
Reason why I am furnishing all this information, is so other folks who might be forced into getting some instruments repaired/restored might read this stuff and get some idea of what they might run into once they send their stuff to the shop.
