Jon & Sean,
Both you guys rule ! And both of you are a wonderful source of information for Gee folk. Keep up to good work and THANK YOU !

Sean, on the East Coast here there is a clothier named Sy Syms. His does commercials where he says, "An educated consumer is our best customer."

If you had one this excellent series on what type of intricate work and know how is involved in speedo resto, I can't imagine anyone would complain about how long it took and you could probably have doubled your prices.

Sean -- Thank you for sharing the 'how to' with us!! It's amazing what all all the different Gee-men have superior skills at doing. What does the tool look like that you use to de-crimp the bezel?? I can see me totally destroying a bezel!!! Keep up the work and information. Thanks again, Sean. Glenn

You can purchase a very nice reprint of TM9-1929A for details from Portrayal Press.

[Sean]

wish you still did the repairs

Still am, just scaled it down. Send me an Email.

This is a nice pitorial but LIGHT on what goes on.

Thanks for the insight, bummed out about no details.

Was never meant to be a "How To" only an insight into what is involved in restoring one.

I can't imagine anyone would complain about how long it took and you could probably have doubled your prices.

Never thought of that. I could double my prices, quit work and have a one month turn around.

:shock: Never thought of that. I could double my prices, quit work and have a one month turn around.

Let me tell you what all the Harvard MBAs pay a lot of money to learn:

Buy low, sell high, do it as often as you can.

When you have a backlog of work, raise your prices until you have work for today only. You can't make nickel one off tomorrow's job.

It looks scary - all those little parts. I have to rebuild my original Motometer sometime - the trip turns slower than the odo.

But as I just rebuilt my gearbox and was worried about that but finally it went OK, these posts just might persuade me that it can be done without to much trouble.

Great work.
