[AJD] New subject, Tachometer repair

Sun Sep 5 17:28:50 PDT 2010

I wanted my original 60 series tach rebuilt ... bad. I got it done @ bob's 
speedometer.com .... expensive ($300) but has the original 60 Series on the 
face plate. I checked 2 other places, price was about the same, but lead 
time was much longer.
