Amazing Gauge Restoration by Z-Resto

I mailed them to Bob in Georgia and this was his assessment:
gauge estimates as follows. You didn't inform us that someone had taken apart your Tach. Whoever it was butched up every single part of the Tach except the needle because the needle wasn't touched or removed. The connector ring was missing....the inner dome seal was in pieces...glass lens seal wrecked with glue...top bezel dented...faceplate was scratched beyond repair.....red stop lens fouled with glue....lower drive ruined by using wrong screws...lower base bent. We need to build you a new 75 z1b tach with an NOS faceplate, from scratch...
So yea, much larger job than anticipated.
Regardless, the end product was well worth the cost.

Given the fact that one of my gauges had to be COMPLETELY rebuilt, I paid a little over $300 total

$300 total and still a bargain. They look like new old stock gauges! Very nice! Ed

That tells me Z-Resto will not work on the electronic meters, though some of the meter cases appear to be similarly constructed.
