Contact a company called APT Instrument Services at 9632 Humboldt Ave.
South, Minneapolis, MN (612-881-7095) and ask for Chuck Kulbeth. These folks
are absolute whizzes at rebuilding instruments. As an example, I had them
rebuild (strip to the frame, regear, clean, rejewel, new (domed) lens, and
calibrate) an old chronometric speedo from an MG TD. The instrument was like
brand new when I got it back (in 5 days). Total cost was $125. Most other
instruments for similar service is somewhat cheaper. These folks a good!
Many rebuilding services use them as subs for overflow or difficult work.
