Hey guys,
I have a dilemma. My Pantera #6928 has 9719 original miles. My speedo started bouncing & making a schrilling noise. I wrote to the forum & everybody said to replace the cable so I bought a new cable from Wilkinson. I took my car to North Coast Exotics in Cleveland. Earl the owner, has worked on my car since I bought it in 1998. After installing the new cable, the noise went away, but the speedo started bouncing around. Earl took the speedo out of the car & everbody on the forum said give it to Palo Alto Speedometer because they are the best. He sent it out to them to fix. It came back a couple of weeks later, I bought the car in, to re-install the speedo & guess what---it started to bounce again. Well they resent it back to Palo Alto to fix it again (second time). It came back again, they re-installed & for the third time it started to bounce again. I don't know what gives ! Earl is beside himself. He asked me to write to the forum again to see what advise you have for me.
I don't want to lose a speedo that has 9719 miles on it, if I have to get a new one or at least a great used one. I also don't want to check off that the miles are not whats on the car ( ODOMETER DISCREPANCY ) on the title.
How difficult is it to replace that MF brass gear at the base of the speedo ? In their add they talk about repairs, refurbishing, rebuilding, restoration of various speedometers. How do I handle this ? North Coast Exotics has spent numerous hours working on this & Earl has not charged me anything. He said " It's not fixed Myron & I won't charge anything until it's fixed " I am sure Palo Alto Speedo has some sort of charge on this; It just doesn't work ! I would appreciate it if somebody that has Palo Alto Speedometer e-mail address, please forward this, to them. Maybe I could work some thing out with them.
I am stuck, any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Myron Zadony 74 L #6928.
