I sent my original '48 Temp gauge to Jim Carter with a note asking them to not clean or replace the gauge face just the capillary tube. Less then a month later I received my gauge back looking just like I sent it, and functioning like new! I believe it cost me about $125.
You can see the gauge in this picture.
