Gauges are going out - looking for recomendations

[PeteK]

I do have my old gauges, the whole panel. I sealed them up in plastic "just in case" someday I want to restore the car, or if I or my son ever sell it, to go with the car. I wasn't planning to sell them.

Ok thought I’d ask. I can fix the big gauges successfully (actually all of them) Just did it on my car. If anyone has a desk weight that they want to get fixed just DM me.

If anyone is curious, here is how my tach moved before I repaired it. Tach before Repair
And here it is after the Repair Repaired Tach

The second video shows it with the case still open but I was able to get everything back together so that it looks good. There is a coined over metal trim ring that gets coined over on the back side - doesn't look too pretty but it butts to the faceplate and you can't see it.
Finished

What did you fix?

 

[Specracer]

YES, please tell us more! Id love to get my original tach fixed, that has been out of the car for years (speedhuts in now)

 

[PeteK]

You're going to be a popular guy!

The behavior shown is misbehaving. Most gauge failures are completely stuck

Seems to work on the bench but what about in-situ in the car? Bad gauges I have seen bounce around.
