Title: ‘69 Tach repair - who does these in Melbourne.
Post by: jiffy on October 25, 2021, 07:42:56 pm
I have a Tach - it works but reads low, so will need recalibrating. Ideally someone in Melbourne.
Thanks in advance.
Jeff

Sounds a bit exe.  Could you buy a plain tacho from one of the auto parts retailers (about $70) and replace the innards?  I'd suspect that is what they'd be doing - for $415 in labour.

You could also try Auto & Marine Instruments in Cheltenham.  Reviews are good on workmanship and price.
