I've looked all over the internet and yep, I've institute the North Hollywood and Palo Alto VDO repair shops. But has anyone ever found a place local to us that can do the repairs on the speedo and clock without having to send it to Calidonia? I have a '68 with original gauges I'd like to get fixed.
Thanks!

Well, I have gotten a quote back from ii repair places. One is
SPEEDOMETER PLUS
8916 Ellis Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90034
Tel: 1-877-900-9009
They want $115 to fix the speedo, plus $xi.50 for shipping.
The clock costs $135 to repair. Both prices include parts, labor and one yr warranty on the work.
Locally, I found
Powl's Speedometer and Automotive repair:
2340 Dairy Route, Lancaster Pa. 17601
(717) 898-2552
Unfortunately they cost more.... Both volition cost a minimum of $150 plus parts plus shipping. Parts for the speedo volition cost anywhere from $5 to $100 and the clock parts can't be quoted without them taking it apart and seeing what is actually wrong with it.
So, California is $261.50 plus worrying most the aircraft..... and Lancaster is $300 before parts and shipping... Could be around $400-500 when all said and done...
I may simply take my chances with Cali...............

About a yr ago I called North Hollywood Repair(?). They told me they put Quartz movements in the clock, new bezel, and information technology was arround $200 if I recollect correctly.
The tach or speedo was almost $150 with a new bezel and calibration. Both were for my 67 912 green dials. I didn't let shipping enter the film cause I have a UPS account.

Afterwards some research, and discussions with two Porsche repair specialists, I have come with the following recommendations:
one) It's always best to get 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
Website: http://www.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 catchy 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 higher up two places would be the recommended shops.
There are several other shops in California that I've constitute 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
http://www.speedometerplus.com/
Southern Electronics, Inc.
http://world wide web.instrumentclusters.com/
United Speedometer Service
http://world wide web.speedometershop.com/
But locally, all I have found is
[size= ][/size]
Powl'south Speedometer and Automotive repair:
2340 Dairy Route
Lancaster Pa. 17601
(717) 898-2552
Website: http://world wide web.powls-speedometer.com/SpeedometerRepair/Default.aspx
And the people I talked to but had speedometers repaired at Powl's. And so they can't vouch for any clock repairs.
I may just transport them out to California and exist done with information technology…

You were correct virtually the NH Repair. I just got this electronic mail 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 past usa to a quartz movement performance at $ 200.00. Due to their historic period and worn out condition we no longer service electro mechanical movements. The conversion does non change the appearance or wiring of the clock and provides you with a superior product. one yr warranty on all repairs. App. 1-ii weeks turnaround time.

Palo Alto Speedometer Repair also responded:
We specialize in Porsche instrument repair. Nosotros do not have any set prices for our Porsche instrument repair services. The manner that we usually handle this type of a repair is that yous would send the speedometer and clock off to united states of america for a free approximate. One time we have received them I would test them and call you to discuss what I have constitute. The price per gauge of course depends upon its condition, and which parts are needed. Nosotros have all repair parts in stock and all of our work comes with a 12 month warranty. The boilerplate turn around time is most two weeks + UPS fourth dimension. If you lot make up one's mind to send us your speedometer and tachometer make certain to enclose a short cover letter with all of your information, along with a cursory description of what you are looking to have washed. Nosotros usually arrange payment with Visa / Principal Menu or Discover Card over the phone.
The typical speedometer rebuild is about $185.00, and rebuild of the clock with a new VDO quartz movement is typically $215.00 + aircraft.
