Does anyone restore the older Airguides? I have a pair, surface mounted with the flange, chrome. Black dial, white numbers, and orange needle. Model 725, if I recall. 

Thanks...

Mark:

This shop will take your old Air Guide speedos and convert them to GPS.  Not cheap, but...

I suppose you could put the GPS guts in and have the same old ugly looking speedometer you started with, (since the 725's use the original faceplate, needle etc. on a GPS conversion) if the cases are all pitted  Wink

Here's a link to a not too old thread with some info about where to get a faceplate decal if you can't find anybody and want to "refresh" it yourself.


samudj01 has done at least a few of these himself, you might send him a PM

Hey gang, I should have been more clear. Just looking for an aesthetic overhaul...chrome, face, and pointers, etc.... Don't need the guts, as they're not going back in a boat.

Thanks

Took mine apart, cleaned the faces and repainted the needles.  Replaced the rubber grommet for the tuning stick and was back in biz.  Ace hardware for the grommet.  I did not use the face sticker but it looked good.  I also didn't rechrome.  

If anyone is interested in some airguides that are pitted and bad looking, I can make you a deal.
