Great photos Edward.  My tach needle was hanging up around 1-2 K, so I took
the cluster out and the tab that supports the foil under the 14 pin
connector just broke off.  Also the bottom of the tach's back plate was in
five or so pieces.  I assume that the lack of rigidity was causing binding
in the tach mechanism.


Your photo, 04.htm, shows the good news - that the backing piece (with the
connector tab) can be repaired or replaced without a whole lot of trouble.
I had a spare tach and swapped the piece out.  Needle now works fine.
