Nisonger "used" to be the best instrument service place around but over the 
past few years there have been a lot of negative comments on the Mail Lists 
and in the Forums over their price, service intervals and "friendliness". 
That was enough to scare me away from them and, on Herman van den Aker's 
recommendation, I sent my speedo and tach to West Valley Instrument in 
Resado CA. (http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/SpeedometerCalibration.htm) 
Morris specializes in just British instruments, charges fairly and turns 
them around in the time frame promised, usually 10 days. While I only had 
mine calibrated, Paul Rego had Morris convert his tach to electronic and was 
very pleased with the results. He initially had a problem with it being 
erratic but a phone call to Morris revealed that there were a batch of bad 
circuit boards out there and to send it back for replacement. Since then 
it's been fine. Paul wrote the whole thing up here.
