[Healeys] Instrument Restoration

[Bob Spidell]

PA Speedo likely has massive overhead costs compared to MoMa.  After 
all, they're in downtown Palo Alto, not far from Facebook and other tech 
firm HQs (unless they've moved to, oh, Manteca, but kept the name).

I had a really good tire/wheel guy--'Palo Alto Wheel and Brake' IIRC, a 
second-generation shop--who was run out of town because PA didn't want 
one of those grimy, blue-collar-type businesses in their swanky 
neighborhood (he moved to Mountain View, but eventually went out of 
business).   I'm surprised Antonio's Nut House--named, in part, for the 
peanut shells on the floor--has survived, but I hear dive bars are all 
the rage with tech bros/sisters these days (same for Fred's in MV, but I 
hear it's gotten less divey).

Either shop will do a good job.
