'I would have loved to have a full set of OE gauges, then I stopped to think about it.  I do have an OE set.  Anything that came out of post war salvage yards.  I am paying more for the overhauled gauges than I would have paid a dozen Cubs that were sent to the Army at the close of the war, or a couple P-38s with only ferry time on the clock.
