VDO Gauge Repair Local?

[356D]

After some research, and discussions with two Porsche repair specialists, I have come up with the following recommendations:

1) It's always best to go with a VDO specialist when dealing with the clocks. That would be either

North Hollywood Speedometer & Clock Co.

611 Lankershim Blvd.

North Hollywood, CA 91606

Tel. 818-761-5136

Fax. 818-761-4857

Email: info@nhspeedometer.com

OR

 

NSI (Nichols Speedometer & Instrument)

1336 Oakland Ave.

Greensboro, NC 27403
Tel. 336-273-2881

Fax: 336-273-2923

Email: info@nsifleet.com

Website: http://www.nsifleet.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv

 

 

I was told that NSI is like the East Coast Branch of VDO specialists.

 

2) The speedometer, well that’s a lot less tricky than the clock, I’m told that generally most speedometer repair shops can handle the cleaning, lubricating and minor repairs for them. To refurbish or refinish them, the above two places would be the recommended shops.

 

There are several other shops in California that I’ve found who also claim to repair the clocks as well as all the VDO gauges, but nobody I’ve talked to has ever used their services.

 

Palo Alto Speedometer, Inc.

Speedometer Plus

Southern Electronics, Inc.

United Speedometer Service

But locally, all I have found is

Powl's Speedometer and Automotive repair:

2340 Dairy Road

Lancaster Pa. 17601
(717) 898-2552

Website: http://www.powls-speedometer.com/SpeedometerRepair/Default.aspx

 

 

And the people I talked to only had speedometers repaired at Powl’s. So they can’t vouch for any clock repairs.

 

I may just send them out to California and be done with it…
