Welcome to our site (updated 06/23/09).  Take a moment to read a description of APT's many services and products.  Come see us at the IOLA 09 OLD CAR SHOW July 9-12.

        Just added:   custom 52mm tachometer 7000 rpm!  See our online catalog featuring Cobra, Classic, Magnolia, GT40, Eclipse, Telemetrix, Mini Cooper, and other quality gauges, bezels and accessories.  NEW!!! Telemetrix gauges with American standard dials, exclusively from APT.  Temperature gauges in fahrenheit and pressure gauges in pounds. 

         Smiths new high performance MotorSport Tachometers are designed to perform in any vehicle. Features include RPM memory recall, programmable 3-state shift indicator lights, and 2 to 12 cylinder adjustable calibration.   Available from 8000  to 18000 RPM....now that's one high-revving tach!

        We offer complete inhouse speedometer and other instrument repair service and restoration by experienced, full-time and formally trained technicians.   Friendly tech support even if you didn't buy from us. We service and restore most makes and models, American or foreign, from 1890 to the present.   Digital, mechanical, analog or electronic speedometers, tachometers and small gauges for cars, trucks, boats, military and recreation vehicles, agricultural equipment, etc.  You can use your own custom design or our factory artwork on gauge face dials for kit cars, race cars and new car production.  No project is too small or too big.  We will bench check your gauge for a small fee.  Contact us for all your instrument repair, restoration and customizing needs.

      We sell Jeep temperature gauges (now at closeout price), and a small amount of Surplus Stock, including a few Mercedes clusters

        Automotive clocks can be converted to quartz or custom fabricated into a tachometer or other type gauge.   We do not repair clocks - just quartz clock conversions.

        We provide cables and housings for just about any application except power seat cables and window cables.  We also offer Cable X, a simple solution for customers with a mechanical speedometer in a vehicle equipped with an electronic speedometer signal.  

        Custom ratio adapters are available for most vehicles.  We also offer an Electronic Speed Adapter (ESA) to correct a speedometer that's inaccurate due to a change in tire size or rear axle ratio.  The ESA is compatible with most cars and trucks and is a snap to install.

        APT can make instrument glass lenses in various sizes (curved, convex or flat) and provides chroming or nickel plating services for bezels, knobs, and many other small parts.  We do not plate trim parts or bumpers.

       
Instructions have been provided here for conducting a Ratio Test which will tell you if your error is in the speedometer gauge itself or if it's caused by cable delivery from your transmission.  In general, if the tires or transmission, including differential, has been or will be altered, the ratio must be adjusted.

There's also a Troubleshooting Guide to help in identifying your gauge problems.

Pricing   We encourage your phone or email inquires about our services.  Please send us your instruments for an evaluation at no charge.    Remember, every job is unique.  See our shipping and handling instructions before shipping.  We will contact you upon receipt to give you a firm quote, discuss with you exactly what you want, and give you an estimated turnaround time.
