Anyone know of any good tach rebuilders?
« on: June 07, 2009, 04:21:00 PM »
Needed -  Someone to rebuild my console tach and calibrate it so that it's correct.

Anyone out there have any leads?

I remember hearing about someone out there that did this for around $100 but I can't remember where I seen it.

I sent my tach off to Mike Mancini at Instrument Specialties.

www.instrument-specialties.com

Instrument Specialties, Inc.
14 Church Street
Oxford,MA 01540

You guys might remember Mike as he's a board member here (board member "MikeMancini") and he's the fellow interested in doing the body restoration on the Reynolds tribute project.

Mike has the tach and said that it has a lot of garbage in it which will reqire it to be fully demagnetized, cleaned, magnetized again and then calibrated.

I let you all know how everything turns out.

Sounds like it could be a little tricky. Wonder how come they don't totally make it current inside.
