[Steam-engine] Gauge adjustment.

[Ken Hough]

Hi Rick
I think if you googled "instrument repair" "Gage / Gauge repair"
You get the idea.  Of course the same issues plague this type of repair as 
does Pop Valve repair. Someone does half a job instead of examining the 
whole gage. Look them up on google and call them. Ask for references
and you might even call your local generating plants instrument repair 
department.

Thank you Ken..maybe you know someone else who does gauge repair?

Take Care,
RickinMt.
