Gauge repair??

I figured I would post this on this site for some help. I dug my old Sun green line gauges from my original 66 442 to install on my present 66 restoration. I benched checked my gauges to double check them before plumbing and wiring them into the three hole panel. My oil pressure gauge won't move off zero so I'm looking for a repair shop to check the gauge , has anyone had or know of a repair shop that can service this gauge ??. There too nice not to use after I knocked off 50 years of storage dust on the box's. Globeguy / Antioch Il.

There's so many companies who can check and repair your gauge. Google search Redline Gauge and Clock Repair, The Clock Works, Instrument Specialties, H & H Tachman

Gauges ?

Thanks for the reply. I will be working the phone Monday. I have been told that a lot of repair shops don't want to work on gauges that have a rolled bezel , we will see what happens. I will post the results as I did with the super restoration of my 2 speed wiper motor from Steve Hackel of Restoration Services.

Redline - phenomenal!

I can safely vouch for the work done by Redline! My Rally Pack pods came back looking as if they came brand new right out of factory packaging! Excellent work, insured shipping, and fantastic packaging. Top Notch!

just to be clear, when we say Redline, we are talking Redline in TN, not Redline in Calif, correct?

Yes in Tenn. I got my tach/clock back today and it looks great. Haven't got it installed yet in my 442 but I did run the tach and clock today and all is well. I think John will do a good job for you.
