Instrument overhaul experience

Hmm, I was rather happy with the job Keystone did with my engine gauge
cluster. I asked for refacing, and the gauges came back looking like new. I
thought the price was quite reasonable too at $704 for the whole 8 gauge
cluster.

Previously I had removed my analog tach and had it overhauled locally.
The
cost was $60 and the tach is now giving accurate readings across the RPM
range.

Where did you have your analog tach overhauled? I'll deal with your
overhauler next time. Keystone Instruments in Lockhaven, PA overhauled
mine for almost $200 and replaced the face even though I specifically stated
I did not want it done. Some of the overcharge was due to them returning
the damn thing to me COD (again against my express wishes) when I could have
given them my bankcard number. Poor telephone manners too.

The needle now swings so I average out the extreme numbers. And yes, I've
lubed the hell out of the cable and checked the ends.

BTW, the face job they did to my tach sucks. I wish it had the old face
back.
