Of course, I'd recommend Brass Bell advertisers first.

Perfectionsist, great work. Subscribes to the "good things take time" ethic. My gauges were handled by Mark. I was in no hurry. I have them back in my possession now. They look great.

Ken,
I had Mark Clawson restore my instruments and he did a great job. If you have time and not in a rush I would highly recommend Mark. My instruments were one of the first items I sent out when I restored my boat and he had them back in a few months looking better than new. If you would like to see his work send me you email and I will send a before and after.

Here are a few pictures of my before and afters. The choice of going from the black faced to the silver faced was mine.

Ken,
Clawson Instruments restored gauges for Razzmatazz. Let me echo what others say about his work. His craftsmenship is flawless. Be sure to give him lead time. Tahoe judges reviewed his artistry with flashlight and mirror, front and back finding no discrepancies. Its all good! JerryT

I use Pat Powell in River Forest, IL. Mostly because i can drive there and drop stuff off. He worked at Stewart-Warner fo 30 years or so. Does a good job too. Like any other service provider NEVER tell them "No Hurry" You can find him in the BRASS BELL too.
