    I have a box full of old SW gauges of all kinds as well as some Sun Tachs that need fixed or looked into.

    Is there a reputable place to send these to get fixed? And an average price I'm looking at (From your experience)

    I've never used them but they have a good rep on this and other forums. I got a quote to repair the temp gauge on my '39 p/u that had the cap tube cut off. They were extremely responsive to my questions and the price they quoted was reasonable IMO.

    Do you mind sending my the ball park figure, that's basically what I will have done. Just to give me an idea to even try or just wasting my time

    Never hurts to ask. Each gauge will vary in $ depending on the tlc that it needs or the level of restoration you want. They went through my Sun football tach and converted the transmitter box to 12v and was very happy.

    I like Williamson's as well-they have done several instrument clusters for me--great results.

    It's kind of hard to tell from the shadows in your picture of your gauges, so I was just curious as to why they need repair? For example, I can see that the one next to the toggle switches is a S/W utility pressure gauge. It's very rare to find one like that the doesn't work. If for some reason it does not work, the cost to fix it would far outweigh its value. It is a very common gauge that's probably worth $25 at the most. Or, when you're asking about repair, are you thinking of replacing dented bezels or broken glass?
