After years of readings at least 25 per cent off, the Vintage speedo that came with my CMC has finally crapped out. I know they're junk, but I'm not in the mood to replace all the gauges. Does anybody fix these things? Thanks, Speedster gurus.

North Hollywood Speedometer and Palo Alto Speedometer come up fairly often.
N. Hollywood did a good job with my tachometer. Haven't tried Palo Alto.
I doubt anyone would fix the CMC supplied gauges (believe they were made by Teledyne or Johnson controls overseas) - best bet would be to find another one - even if its reading is off. It looks like trying to take one apart would destroy it - unlike VDO gauges.
I occasionally see them here, ebay and SAMBA. Post a WTB add. Or sell your there and get some VDO 914 gauges.
I thought I needed mine done but it was the cable breaking down. The guy at Tulsa Speedometers gave me a quick lesson. He said if mine went out, it would be $150 to rebuild it. New cable was all I needed in the end. Knowledgeable guy.
Just to clarify - I think these are the CMC sourced VINTAGE gauges (they had other color faces and bezels). These are actually still available on SAMBA for $85 - so cheap fix.
