A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Where would you send old military type guages for repair or overhaul?
can they do metric/European guages?

I would give Consolidated Instrument of Teterboro Nj a call. They have been in the business since 1946 and have an excellent reputation. They have serviced our instruments for a long time and are very good.
Ask for Eric Johannssen or OBJ Johannssen and tell them that we referred you.

Ralph Stahl has been overhauling our instruments on the B-17 for years, and does top notch work. A great guy too. He is at NW Regional Airport (52F)

Will any of these shops do an instrument that has a radium face? What do people usually do about getting period instruments overhauled if they have a radium face?

There are still a few shops that will remove radium during the overhaul process, but there are EPA compliant procedures.
Air Parts may still do this kind of work, 570-748-0823
