Default Speedometer rebuilt

I got a 1940 Ford Coupe and the speedometer needs rebuilt. Where a good place I can send it off to get rebuilt? Any information will be good.

Rusty at Speedometer Service in Colorado rebuilt the SW speedometer in my '39 p/u. He doesn't work on all of the manufacturers that built speedometers for Ford but if yours is one that he works on I highly recommend him. He is also an Alliance member on the Hamb.

Rusty rebuilt the SW speedometer in my 32 pickup plus a custom cable to go between the Chevrolet trans and the 32 speedo. Works perfect.

Williamson's did the speedometer for my 1935 Truck and it came out beautifully. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and I'm satisfied.

What I liked about Rusty In CO. He understood my desire to keep the speedo looking old. My truck is not showy so keeping the unit looking vintage to match the truck was a priority. He did exactly as I asked for a reasonable price and short turnaround. Was on the road today and it's smooth as silk.
