Hi, I'm looking for the best place to buy a rebuilt spedomiter. 30 pickup, I have one to trade in. Thanks

Papanick posts on the swap...................

Papanick will rebuild yours if you don’t mind waiting.

He also sells them outright. I see him on eBay all the time. He also advertises in Ford Barn Swap Meet.

I use Denny Ellerman. Denny does an excellent job and was one who helped Cushman when he did it. Denny advertising in the Model A News and the Restorer National Magazines.

I had 3 oval speedometers rebuilt by him and has rebuilt a lot of them. You didn't mention whether you need a round or oval style, as 1930's used both types. You might send him a message via eBay. I believe he will rebuild you speedometer or give you a core credit.

PapaNick has a fantastic turn around on his speedometer work. Mine was mailed back to me the same day he received it.

Mark is AMAZING. I sent him mine for a tune up, and it was in the mail longer than it was on his bench.

Hay Gino thanks for the email will get your speedometer rebuild and back in the mail. papanicka

Gino · 04-14-2018, 05:42 PM

Thanks all I have spoken with Papanick. I'll be sending out my speedometer Monday. I'll bet he does great work and he seems like a really good guy. Thanks again, oh sorry to take so long getting back. Life has a way of changing ones plans.

Saw a Model A for sale, with 2 speedos, wonder how he mounted the second one????

One off of the right wheel and one off of the left.

"Maybe" he put it in the BACK, for MOMMA to watch???

Floats · 04-16-2018, 12:15 AM

I’m with Bill on this one. Second speedo can only be for the backseat driver.

jm29henry · 04-16-2018, 11:44 AM

I got mine from Synders and am very pleased

Hey Bill,

My wife uses our Garmin GPS to keep track of my speed, and she's in the front seat.

David Serrano

CarlG · 04-16-2018, 02:29 PM

My GPS is easier to read and is more accurate than the speedometer.

It might be one of those funny Model A/s that can do 80 MPH all day long.

When the first speedo pegs out at 75, the second one takes over.

Aint that the truth! My speedo reads way too fast so there'd be a greater chance of being booked for speeding if I used the GPS.
On another note, where is Papanick located?

Ones forward and ones reverse...come on guys, you know this.
It's just like the original mirrors were black and white, cus color mirrors did not come out until the early/mid 50's...right?

Synchro909 · 04-17-2018, 06:12 PM

Maybe we should get together. Mine reads slow. Then we could average our speeds and be good.

IF the 2 speedos don't agree, take an average of the TWO.
Someone asked 3 Cowboys, "Whut time is it"---They produced 3 pocket watches, each with different times & all four "AGREED" on the CORRECT TIME!---LOL (IDIOTS!)
Awhile back, The GRENNICH Clock in the UK, had it's annual correction, of 3 SECONDS! NO wonder I'm HUNGRY, already!

That make sense when you think about it. One side of the car has to go faster than the other in a turn because it has farther to go. So the side on the outside of a turn has to go faster than the side on the inside of the turn in order to keep up and be aligned when the car goes straight again...

The speedo didn't work on my first Model A, I figgered out that 10 Amps equaled 43 MPH.
