Wow! Looks great!

So, how'd you do it?!

All new artwork, new silkscreen. Repainted/reprinted face. Some work on hour meter, too. Mechanical, too... new jewel and spindle. Unfortunately, I took the shot before realizing I had the pointer on wrong. Didn't want to take a shot through the glass once it was fixed and all together.

Are you able to spin them and see if they are accurate as far as RPM's?

Absolutely. They're all checked for accuracy.

Are you by chance looking for sideline work in tach restoring?

They do it as a business, contact them if you want something restored.

Well, not meaning to be overly blunt but how much are we talking to restore a tach? I imagine that it's going to depend on what shape it is in but a typical range or hourly rate would be handy. Thanks.

The tach pictured above ran roughly $350.00.
