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.

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.

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.

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?

Hey Bill,

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

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...
