Welcome, Bill. I had asked some time ago about having a TR3 temp gauge rebuilt
and Nisongers was recommended. However, several listers also mentioned MOMA and
indicated that not only was the work done more quickly than Nisongers, but was
less expensive as well. The note below was forwarded to me - don't know the
author's name.
