Yo, i have a beautiful dual gauge at the moment, (oil pressure and water temp) but alas, the mechanical water temp has stopped working! is there an instrument specialist in Sydney that could re-gas it so it works again? |

I found an old Smiths vacuum gauge at a flea market years ago. Had it install in my Deluxe. Unfortunately with time a piece of thin metal lining on the inside of the gauge seemed to dislodge itself and stops the indicator arrow from resting at zero. I know this gauge is a genuine item from the late 60s. My question is this: 1. are Smiths Vacuum gauges still sold new? 2. is it worth my while getting this fixed? marc from Sydney |

Contemplating trying to remove the bevel of mine to clean inside but don't think it is worth the risk of breaking glass, etc. Any body had a crack at it?

Any body had a crack at it? Rusty, have a look at the back of the chrome bezel and see if it has a few indents in it, if so, you should be able to turn the bezel carefully and remove it , i have done this with some other smiths gauges. |

Hi Goodie, Seems to be completely pressed all way around  Would probably have to peel back the bezel with speacil tool to get it off?

Yeah i see what you mean Rusty, 2 choices i'd say , leave well enough alone or take it to a gauge repairer and see what they say. |
