tire gauge resto

[1930artdeco]

Is it possible to restore a Rex-A-Co tire gauge-if so how does it come apart? I have one that has a face and the plastic is yellowed and the needle has some corrosion on it. Also, is it possible to clean up the plastic?

Suggest you contact A&L, they have rebuilt items for the tire guage.

A sharp strong blate will remove the cover holding the plastic face; or have a jeweler remove it for you, it just like a watch rim.

No, on the yellow plastic [can not be cleaned up] ...

Brattons has replacement acrylic lens and replacement dial face plates available. The old yellowed plastic is easy to remove and replace with Brattons new lens.

I believe Brattons gets his Dial Guage parts from A &L, just like the Double Venturi he sells.
