Looking Better Than Ever

Post by mk1 »

Just received back from Rodger Howard of https://www.howardinstruments.com.au/

Following a complete restore & refurb.

I doubt there is a better one in the world!

Q: Why Australia? Was there no one in the UK who could restore such an instrument?

Probably, but Roger is at the top of the tree when it comes to guages and you know it is right if it has been through his hands

Rodger is one of a very few craftsmen when it comes to instruments. It started with his Father and has continued with Rodger. As we say here, he knows his s—t.
