Ohio Yard Thermometer restoration

While waiting for parts for part 3 of the Magnavox console repair, I restore this very cool indoor/outdoor thermometer from the fifties. Cleaning, painting, calibrating, it is all there in this restoration!

I have the exact same one and it still works just fine. Of course I didn't rehab it as good as you, just sprayed the spring with PB Blaster then next day WD-40. Great job

I have this same one and mine does have a plastic case over the front that the 2 small screws on top and bottom of the round band to hold it in..

I have one exactly like the one that you repaired (with the plastic cover), that no longer works. Would you be wiling to look at mine to see if it can be repaired?

I have an old plastic outdoor thermometer by "Springfield". I knocked it off the post while cleaning my awning. I wonder if it's from the same company as if maybe they changed their name or ownership. As in Springfield Ohio. Anyways gotta figure out how to adjust the temperature needles about 10 degrees off and it's an old plastic. But it came with the house when we moved in 14 years ago, but I like it.
