Anyone out there have a white faced early 70's Airguide that they would be willing to part with?

Ouch. I just got one in almost new condition for $100 (definitely a good deal). That one looks like more than just "shelf ware" to me. Let me go back and reread, maybe that's the installed price.

I was not really expecting new, but i'd love to find a couple that are closer than the ones I currently have. Can't blame me for dreaming.

Does that mean you don't have any that you wish to part with?

So, John, you won that one in the pic you posted? It only had the 1 bid didn't it? England wasn't it?

I do have some new and some used. I will have to get to my stash & see what is there. I will let you know. Of course having anything to do with Reid raises your cost!

Reid who? Never heard of him. I'll take the stranger deal.

I'm trying to get the 72 Promo into really nice condition. That's why I would like to find a couple newer ones. Keep me posted and thanks for looking.

John, have you looked into restoring the speedos you have instead? There were a few people here who had recreated that face style in vinyl so you can lay it right over the faded one. Throw a little paint on the needle and youre in business... if I remember correctly, your chrome is in good shape, which is the biggest hurdle. Im assuming theyre functional?

Hey buddy,

Not sure they are functional and one is duct taped right now. The chrome may clean up nicely, but didn't look that great. The one on the dog house no longer how glass in it and is not in good shape at all. I already have a nice replacement for that one, but the other two could stand to be replaced.

It's hard for me to know since the boat is in Mooresville and I'm in Maryland. I have a rinky dink garage at home that won't even fit that 72 SN, so I would rather it stay inside at RCM or somewhere else down there for now. Once it gets closer to the condition that I anticipate, then it can at least make the trip to Lake Gaston (4 hours closer to me).

Ahh, I see. I havent torn into such an early Airguide before, but Id be surprised if its put together much differently than the newer ones. If it turns out yours are non-functional, the mechanical assembly from another style should swap right in. Hold onto your needles, as those may be unique. A new vinyl overlay should make any 50mph unit look like NOS.

Brilliant! I had not thought about that. I'll do a search for who made those replacement faces.

I can't find it. I think I need a search tutorial.

Does anyone remember who reproduced them?

Thanks Pete. The link you listed is the one I remembered. The other links that came up were not really helpful for the replacement faces. It looks like Tribal150 (Rob) does not still have access to having them reproduced.

John,

I got some 0-50 Black Face overlays from dwcar (dwcar@yahoo.com) in Houston, Texas. They were like $10.00 each and worked great. I purchased bring orange paint from a hobby shop. I installed the overlays and repainted my needle and they came out great. I used the black face, but I think he also has the white face ones.   The guy's name is Don Carr and he also sells the red warning decals on the dash. He has a nice boater's check list. I did my speedo's last winter. I need to get one case rechromed at some point.

I love both of your new boats.

Donald

Ok, I found the post from 1-24-2009 in the parts for sale area. I bumped the thread so it is back up again. His email is dwcar@yahoo.com. The thread is titled Dash Stickers /Decals. It looks like he does not have the white ones.

Sorry,

Donald

Donald,

Thanks. I'll reach out to him, but in the post where you were communicating with him, he stated that he only had the black ones.

Murph....El Grande Ebay King may have what you need?
I replaced both of mine in favor of black...my two originals have been saved though.

One was working fine....the other was not. I will pull them out and see how they look. As I recall...chrome and glas was in nice shape on both. Dials are faded.....anyway let me take a look and I can take pics.

Also....I have a few extra gauges too.

There is a mint one on E-Bay right now. It will be expensive, but it appears to be used. The auction will end in three days.

Yeah, I know. I've been watching it along with probably 15 other guys from this site. It appears to have some blimishes on the face, although it does still look nice.

I spoke to a guy today about possibly having the vinyl faces made for these. I should know something in the next couple of weeks if it will work with this guy. It will probably cost me $50 or so to have the file produced, but once it's done, we can have the stickers done pretty affordably.


Stang and Skicat, I'm still interested in what you have.

John, I have a few different types of faces that might be worth scanning, enhancing and reproducing. $50 seems pretty reasonable... maybe I could send him what I have as well.

Greg,

Just sent you an email.

Tim,

I just confirmed with the art guy today. I'm going to take the face of one of mine and send it to him. I'm glad to do the same with yours. How many do you have? He made it seem like it was a no-brainer. Why don't we complete the process with this one first to make sure it's actually what we need?

We can then have these done in UV resistant inks and should be good to go.
