Good day all,
I've done my research on our Forum for guidance with a repair on my 1973 Norton Veglia speedometer.
I've had the machine since 1974 and had an unfortunate accident in 2010 which launched my speedo & cup from the triple tree mount and into the woods....never to be found....very sad. I was lucky to find another used one and had it rebuilt by Scott Thomas of "Smith's Instrument Repair" here in US. He did a wonderful job with the restoration to match my original, like new, Veglia tachometer. Unfortunately, it reads 10 mph slow throughout the speed range and the odometer reset doesn't work.
(tried to load image here but I'm not having luck with the "insert image" icon.)
So, back 15 years ago I called Scott with the faults in his repair and he told me "It's fine and it works as it should." Now, 15 years later, I emailed him and called but the email was auto-returned and phone # is no longer valid. I'd love to take the speedo apart myself but realize the need to press fit things back together.
I do have Joel Levine Company and Lauderdale Speedometer in the US I found referenced here in the Forum. Just thought I'd check in to know if anyone has a like new speedo for sale or any other help with a repair suggestion.
Enjoy the ride....
Dave
