wanted: 1948 speedometer

[JD48-6269]

Finally got the car running nice when the speedometer cable started to bind. It made the speedometer needle jump so hard that the needle broke off. All of my other gauges work fine. But I would really like to find just the speedometer needle and the mechanism. Yeah I know good luck

Since you will be removing your speedometer anyway, why not just get yours fixed?  There are a few instrument repair outfits out there that will repair and rebuild your speedo to like new or take it to whatever level of repair you want.  I just sent all of my '35 Caddy instruments to ---- Instrument Services, Inc. in Roscoe, Illinois ---- http://clocksandgauges.com/index.html

You can find others in Hemmings Motor News or by Googling something like "Antique Auto Instrument Repair".  Shouldn't be any problem getting yours repaired.

I just love those '48 speedos.

I have a complete 48 cluster, as I remember it, left over from a 6267x restoration.  It came our of my 48 6269 sedan and is in fairly good shape but I will have to find it and look at it.  If you are interested
let me know and I will look further.  I will be in Canada for the next few days from wednesday til sunday.  the speedo is located in Souther Calif.

Any chance you guys might still have an extra speedometer laying around?  I broke the shaft while trying to get the needle off to restore it.

Thanks,
