My original (Cessna 172F) airspeed indicator is occasionally sticking at 100 mph, a tap on glass frees it up.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a repair station?
Quality, rudy's, etc?

A set of jeweler's screwdrivers set out on the bench along with the instrument some night ought to let the instrument repair fairies find the little glitch in the mechanisms.

A bleed mechanism off of a standard air hose should let you set the pressure to the few inches of water pressure that will let the fairies check the instrument before you reinstall it.

They aren't particularly complex instruments, the fairy barely has to dust them out at all.
