Palo Alto Speedo

Post by wwwboard »

Posted by Bryan P

I am on the verge of sending my clock to Palo Alto Speedometer for a quartz rebuild.  Deane had good things to say about PAS a while back.  Has anyone had a bad PAS experience?

I sent the whole set of the instruments from my 53 Aston Martin to PAS.  That would be six gauges.  There were at least three instances where I was not happy with them.  I no longer use their services.  As with others who converted, I use Moma in New Mexico.  They seem to care more about old cars.  Their prices may even be lower than PAS.  One of the parteners Marguerite is the one I have been dealing with.  She is a nice person and cares about doing a good job.

Hi John,

Send me the information, and I'll add it to the supplier's page.

D&M restoration did a great job on my clock, they also do quartz conversions.

I've used PAS on many occasions (they're just up the street from my office). Rebuilt lots of 356 gauges for me and did a great job - a little pricey though.

I would not  use Palo Alto. They are overpriced and don't really care about the old guages. They were unable to fix one guage and charged me a nice sum to tell me it was not working. I new that already! The other guage was the clock which they fixed but returned to me with a broken pin that holds the adjustment extension to the clock body. I would suggest using one of the other vendors mentioned. This company is a case of spending a fortune in advertising to get customers and not delivering the goods.
