Does anyone have recommendations for someone who can restore old air
gauges?

In addition to repair, cleaning, lubrication, adjustment and calibration, preservation of the matte silver finish on the gauge face is essential.

Thanks.

I know of a place in Florida that can remake the gauge face to almost EXACT colors/fonts/style as the original. Had an exahust steam injector gauge done that way and it was PERFECT..

I also know someone at Ashcroft in Connecticut that had gone through some locomotive gauges for me as well..
