Default Before and After

I got my '37 Glove-box Clock back from Williamson's Instruments today and I couldn't be happier! I had them put a new dial face on the clock. The before and after pictures below says it all with respect to the quality of craftsmanship at Williamson's. Money well spent @ $125.00 including return shipping costs. I can't emphasize too strongly how highly I recommend the services provided by Williamson's....

I've had Williamsons do some work in the past. I was extremely pleased with all the results. Good folks.

They just rebuilt an old Sun tach for me - to use with the Vertex magneto that I have on the flathead in my 32. They do really quality work, communicate well and have very fair prices. I will not hesitate to use them for all my vintage gauge work!
