Can old CJ5 gauges be restored?

Found a place that repairs the King-seely speedo, and maybe others..

Here, let me throw in a plug for another CO shop. I just posted this in the speedo thread too. http://www.deluxespeedometer.com/

 

I took my speedo apart and did a good cleaning. Oiled the moving parts, fixed the broken stuff and changed out the gauges. I'm real happy with it. I was going to do a write up but there did not see to be much interest in it. If you have specific questions, several of us have worked on them. Easy to do if it is not rusted on the face. But easy to do and very rewarding.

 

What did you use as a gasket/o-ring to seal the glass? My glass/lens is loose and so dust is able to get inside and on the face. Otherwise it is in good condition, it just needs to be cleaned and sealed...Are they magnetic? Maybe all mechanical speedometers are magnetic....

 

Yes, the cable works with magnetic magic. The gasket/o-ring I tired to match at Ace Hardware. I found one later but I used screen spline as a gasket for mine. I put the joint at the bottom. It seems to have sealed up very well.
