The catalog I have from "The Winner's Circle" (http://www.spridget.com)
Claims an average rebuild is 75 USD for most guages. But they are kind of
vague about it. A new one in the Moss catalog lists for 149 USD.

As I'm in the same situation, I'd like to hear any comments from anyone
who's had a rebuild done on their guage. Who did it, how much, how quickly,
and the quality of the work.

Thanks,
