[DeTomaso] Speedometer Repair Options?

Sat Nov 17 23:40:56 EST 2018

Jim,

Yeah it’s really amazing. They are in a beautiful old building, a car workshop with an arched curved wooden roof with exposed beams and skylights, right in the middle of downtown Palo Alto. It’s like walking into a time machine. 

They have a jillion parts from every kind of gauge you can imagine.

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

   Jim,

   Yeah it's really amazing. They are in a beautiful old building, a car
   workshop with an arched curved wooden roof with exposed beams and
   skylights, right in the middle of downtown Palo Alto. It's like walking
   into a time machine.
   They have a jillion parts from every kind of gauge you can imagine.

   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? Mike Sent
