I explained what the issues I knew were with my speedo, including a broken pointer needle, and asked 2 basic questions: What would be a rough time frame for having the speedo repaired?; What would be a rough estimate?

They basically had to replace <b>everything</b> inside the speedo except the odometer assembly! and the total bill was just slightly more than what it would have cost for the basic service from Nisonger + pointer!<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Once I finally got the speedo back (USPS "lost" it for over a month - but that's another story :-( ), it was perfect. However, what really set Foregin Speedo apart was their after sales service. After re-installing the speedo, the cable was only turning intermittently. Preston @ Foreign Speedo correctly diagnosed it as the original angle drive, which they also repair. Unfortunately from my USPS experience, I didn't want to have the possibility of the same thing happening again, so Preston talked me through how to fix it myself! Then, completely unexpectedly, a few days later I received a brand new input shaft for the angle drive from them!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Oh, and did I mention that the actual repair only took a little over a week?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>If only I had more speedos to repair, Foreign Speedo would get all my business.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Service like this is very hard to find these days, so help support the "little guy" - you won't be sorry!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><img width=562 height=422 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D64556.421C4020" alt="20200522_125147.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><img width=562 height=422 id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.jpg@01D64556.421C4020" alt="20200618_070848.jpg"><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 8:05 PM Bruce Steele <<a href="mailto:healeybruce@roadrunner.com">healeybruce@roadrunner.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #CCCCCC 1.0pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 6.0pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'>They’ve done my gauges as well.
