[DeTomaso] Speedometer Repair Options?

[Pantdino]

Is PA Speedometer still in Palo Alto? Property value there is like a zillion dollars per square foot, so no wonder their prices are high. :)

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?MikeSent from my iPad> On Nov 17, 2018, at 10:11, Mike Reilly <reillyms at live.com> wrote:> >   Hi all.

   Mike, Palo Alto speedometer is a legendary shop. Itas 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 Iave 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? Mike Sent
