Yes.John Wolf & Co in OH.Plan on $175 - 200. Williamson's in AR is another,nice work but longer wait.

There are others but John had a 2 wk turn around time but that was 2 yrs ago.Nice originals sometimes turn up on EBAY.

I just used Williamson Instruments in Chester AR. (479) 739-8910 Ron Beiles is the contact person. TOP notch service. I haven't got my ammeter gauge back YET as he shipped it yesterday BUT so far the experience and the price have been fabulous!!!!

Several years ago I emailed Williamson's about the temp gauge on my '39 p/u. The capillary tube had been cut off. They emailed me back with detailed info and said the cap tube issue was not a problem. Quoted a price for the complete repair which I thought was fair. I was impressed with them. I ultimately decided to just keep using the VDO gauges I had but I wouldn't hesitate to use them for anything gauge related in the future. IIRC their repairs have a lifetime warranty but I could be mistaken.

Williamson's quote to me off the bat was much cheaper than John Wolf, mine "might" be a rare exception but ended up being $25 cheaper than the original quoted price!!!!
