I am restoring a 69 and have reached that point of redoing the interior wiring and dash. The center console gauges are my issue. The fuel and oil pressure gauges are OK. But, the water temp barely moves off 100 degrees, the battery gauge reads +20 all the time when off and does move under power and the clock runs occasionally. I have been using Paragon almost exclusively for parts, but I am not impressed with their gauge service. Does anyone have a recommendation for another company I could send these gauges to for cleaning, calibration and repair?
 
Thx.,
 
Mike

We use Red Line Gauge and Clock.  Call John at 731-571-0766.  Their quality is outstanding, and their prices are fair.

Mike,
 
I sent all of my gauges to Roger Scott @ Corvette instruments & I was very happy with the results & price. 
 
He does work for some of the major parts houses & is respected by the NCRS community
