I need to send my oil pressure and temperature gauges for my 1937 138CD in to be rebuilt/repaired. I have found several places that do this type of work, but I was wondering if anyone had recommendations based on personal experience.

Please let me know. Thanks!

Give Chris a call:

Thanks, Chuck. It's always good to know of personal experiences. I'll give Chris a call.

I'll also check out Chris Connors for regular gages, per the post.

btw, I posted on another thread about clock repair, if you need it. I replicated it for convenience here:

Talk to Jim Smith (Denver area) as he specializes in all flavors of antique and vintage automotive clocks. He has done 3 1935-37 senior clocks for me and is a solid performer and has a tiered cost structure ranging from basic cleanup runthrough (assuming no parts/issues) up through higher intensity full restoration. He does have a stable of many clocks/parts so often can deal with issues out of his shop supplies.

He has several finished Packard clocks for sale as well.

Mechanical type pressure gauges are generally based on the "bourdon tube" mechanism, not "Bordon". Google "bourdon tube" for more info, very elegant yet simple.

Dan - I actually bought a clock off eBay from Jim last year. It looks great.

Owen - thanks for the clarification.
