Never heard of them but curious to see the responses.  I called the fella in Florida one time but with his broken English and my poor hearing I couldn’t understand much he said.

Once you figure out what he is saying he does very good work. He rebuilt 2 Tach's for me. Star Speedomet 1 386 569 5284.

Jerry Tryka is his name. Has been THE place to go for quality JD gauges. Branched out a while ago into other colors. Didn't know he was doing tachs.

There was a place advertised in RP mag a few years ago. Could be the same guy. I've never have work done by him personally.

I'd be curious about the "except" case. Was it due to a mistake made by Evergreen? Was the tach just to far gone to repair? If a bad repair, were they able to make it right, or did they tell him to suck eggs? One bad pickup truck out of tens of thousands is enough to sour a man on a brand for life, even if the manufacturer bends over backwards to make it right. One bad gauge repair out of a dozen should have a guy bad-mouthing the place to every person he runs into, not singing their praises.

I've got some traction booster gauges for my Alley cats I'd like to get repaired, basically just a hydraulic pressure gauge. Think one of these guys could do them?

There is a fella in Iowa that does gauge repair too but I can’t remember who it is. I talked to him once now I can’t find his contact info.  😞

The guy I'm thinking of fixes original temp gauges, not sure he does anything else? Someone near him is on here I know. Or used to be.

Todd is a good guy, didn't know he worked on gauges.
