Help save this tach, send donat...oops wrong website
I got this SW custom series tach, mfg date code may of 68, in a box of stuff that was abandoned by happy tony in my shop.
I don't know if it can or should be fixed. I saw one on ebay with an asking price of 175.00 with no bids so I don't even know if it is worth fixing.
Overall it is in pretty good shape except for some melty looking stuff in the back pc board.
The needle swings and the wires aren't frizzled.
The main melted thing looks like it was a cap of some sort, as it has a + still visible on one end. The white streak heading east is some trail of plastic drizzle that must have squirted out of the thing in its death throes.
There is a resistor right next to it that looks a little unhappy also.
Other than that it looks ok. I don't know how to test the movement, can I hook it to the nearest outlet?
Just KIDDING.
Here is a picture.
WWDD?
(What would doc do?)
Later, mikey
Here is the one I saw on evilbay
