I've looked all over the net and yes, I've plant the North Hollywood and Palo Alto VDO repair shops. But has anyone ever found a place local to us that can exercise the repairs on the speedo and clock without having to ship it to Calidonia? I take a '68 with original gauges I'd like to get fixed.
Cheers!

Well, I take gotten a quote back from two repair places. One is
SPEEDOMETER PLUS
8916 Ellis Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
Tel: 1-877-900-9009
They want $115 to ready the speedo, plus $11.50 for shipping.
The clock costs $135 to repair. Both prices include parts, labor and one year warranty on the work.
Locally, I found
Powl's Speedometer and Automotive repair:
2340 Dairy Road, Lancaster Pa. 17601
(717) 898-2552
Unfortunately they cost more.... Both will cost a minimum of $150 plus parts plus shipping. Parts for the speedo will cost anywhere from $v to $100 and the clock parts tin't be quoted without them taking it apart and seeing what is actually wrong with information technology.
So, California is $261.50 plus worrying well-nigh the aircraft..... and Lancaster is $300 before parts and shipping... Could be around $400-500 when all said and done...
I may just accept my chances with Cali...............

Well-nigh a twelvemonth ago I called North Hollywood Repair(?). They told me they put Quartz movements in the clock, new bezel, and it was arround $200 if I think correctly.
The tach or speedo was virtually $150 with a new bezel and calibration. Both were for my 67 912 green dials. I didn't let shipping enter the picture crusade I have a UPS account.

Later some research, and discussions with 2 Porsche repair specialists, I accept come up with the post-obit recommendations:
1) Information technology's ever all-time to go with a VDO specialist when dealing with the clocks. That would exist either
North Hollywood Speedometer & Clock Co.

OR
NSI (Nichols Speedometer & Instrument)

I was told that NSI is like the East Coast Branch of VDO specialists.
ii) The speedometer, well that'south a lot less tricky than the clock, I'm told that generally nigh speedometer repair shops tin handle the cleaning, lubricating and minor repairs for them. To refurbish or refinish them, the above ii places would be the recommended shops.
At that place are several other shops in California that I've found who also merits to repair the clocks equally well equally all the VDO gauges, but nobody I've talked to has ever used their services.

Southern Electronics, Inc.

Only locally, all I take institute is

Powl's Speedometer and Automotive repair:
2340 Dairy Road
Lancaster Pa. 17601
(717) 898-2552

And the people I talked to but had speedometers repaired at Powl's. So they can't vouch for whatsoever clock repairs.
I may merely send them out to California and be done with it…

You were right about the NH Repair. I just got this email from them:
The average repair and calibration of a 912 speedometer amounts to app. $ 130.00 - 150.00 plus shipping.
Your 912 clock could be converted by united states to a quartz movement operation at $ 200.00. Due to their age and worn out condition we no longer service electro mechanical movements. The conversion does non modify the appearance or wiring of the clock and provides you with a superior product. 1 year warranty on all repairs. App. ane-two weeks turnaround fourth dimension.

Palo Alto Speedometer Repair too responded:
We specialize in Porsche instrument repair. We do not accept whatsoever ready prices for our Porsche instrument repair services. The way that we normally handle this type of a repair is that you would send the speedometer and clock off to usa for a gratuitous estimate. Once nosotros have received them I would test them and call you to talk over what I accept found. The price per gauge of grade depends upon its condition, and which parts are needed. Nosotros accept all repair parts in stock and all of our work comes with a 12 month warranty. The average plow around time is almost 2 weeks + UPS time. If you decide to send us your speedometer and tachometer brand sure to enclose a short cover letter with all of your information, forth with a brief description of what you are looking to take done. We usually arrange payment with Visa / Master Bill of fare or Discover Card over the phone.
The typical speedometer rebuild is well-nigh $185.00, and rebuild of the clock with a new VDO quartz motion is typically $215.00 + aircraft.
Our aircraft address is : Palo Alto Speedometer, Inc.
718 Emerson Street
Palo Alto, CA. 94301-2410
