Gauge Restoration?
Who is the "Go To" for gauge restoration these days. Experiences? Hollywood; Palo Alto; Other? Need full restoration and back date to Euro/RSR longhood look.

I had all of mine done by north Hollywood in 2022 and am very impressed. Not cheap but well worth it.

JBell / John Bell on this site. Excellent work, very well priced and a great guy to work with. He’s done dozens of gauges for me, some very custom. He has great reviews from many people here. Kills it compared to the big gauge shops.

Had my odo fixed a couple of years back by NHS - fast turnaround and has been great since.
I have a thread open with John after many (many!) recommendations from east coast friends. Having him update my tach to 8k RPM and considering some custom options. He’s been very thorough and helpful already.

Definitely John Bell!
He did mine exactly as I wanted, great communication and turnaround, reasonable. I wouldn't go anywhere else! You can see mine on my thread, here: https://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/1172418-project-minerva-you-restomod-porsche-you-have-one-you-want-8.html#post12590366

I had John Bell restore two gauges for me. He does fantastic work and has a quick turn around.

John Bell. He’s amazing. Don’t go with Hollywood they have taken Porsche price gouging to a new level.

Around 2018 or 2019, I asked Palo Alto to integrate a voltmeter into a tach - they did a fantastic job ... can't speak for current work.
