Greetings from Southern California! Any recommendations on where to take my gauges for restoration?

Jon Frampton does an awesome job. He has done many gauges for members here. Including me. He is a member here and will probably see this post. His username is caraddict.

This is great news. I searched his username but unable to send a personal message. Not sure why. May you provide pictures of your restored gauges from Jon?

I had my clock restored by Jon Frampton as well. Literally better than new. Tucked in a box waiting for my restoration to catch up .

Since my 66 is repowered, I went with New Vintage USA's 1940 series gauges. They are a direct fit and work with the sensors on the modern drivetrain. A very close match to the clock as well.

Here are mine done by Jon. I have more with him ready to ship.

Lovely work, see before and after.

Here are mine for my 67 restoration. Not a great picture but you should get the idea.

Jon’s company is Global Tech Instruments located in Huntington Beach CA.

Here are a few before and after pics of my 1966 clock (mixed in with the New Vintage USA gauges). Jon Frampton and his team rocks!

My gauges. Speedometer and tachometer work, clock definitely does not work, unsure if other gauges work.

Does this clock look fine to you all? Missing a cable?

Can he convert the clock to quartz movement?

Yes he can as well as convert the speedo to gps based instead of cable drive. I believe I have read he can convert the tac. as well to electronic pulse (not sure if that's the correct terminology) eliminating the cable. And the Amp gauge to volts. Of course it all comes at a price.

For those who have had gauges restored by Jon, what was the turnaround time?

I think that's how they come.

Maybe 6-8 weeks. I wasn't in a rush....
