Abbott Instrument Restoration

We repair vintage gauges to perform the way they did fresh from the factory, oftentimes more accurately calibrated, but never by replacing the internal workings with inferior components. This standard is achieved and maintained by utilizing NOS parts from our huge on-site parts inventory and decades of experience.

 

Concours quality service, repair, and complete cosmetic restoration of temperature, fuel, pressure and amp gauges, along with speedometers, tachometers and clocks.

​
