[DeTomaso] Speedometer Repair Options?

[Mike Drew]

Mike,

Palo Alto speedometer is a legendary shop. It’s in a cool old-school building, very antiquated and run by old-school craftsmen. They have been at it for many many years. 

Expensive but worth it. 

Having said all that, every screeching speedo I’ve ever encountered has been a bad cable, NOT the speedo. 

Would you like to borrow a spare speedo to check, before sending yours in for replacement?
