I am working on a 1950 TD for a friend. One detail that needs attention is the tachometer. It is stuck on 2800 rpm. I'm not comfortable digging into gauges that I am unfamiliar with. Has anyone had gauges restored by someone reliable. If so, can you let me know contact info for them.
Thanks,
Bruce
Maybe I should get my non-working Morris Minor speedo done too /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

My '52 TD tach jumps all over the place. I'm going to try replacing the cable first, if not that, I'll be looking for some advice here!
 
This site offers a good look at Smiths/Jaeger speedo repair for the DIY:

It addresses speedometers but mechanical tachs are the same basic works only much simpler since much of the complexities of the speedo is there to run 1 or 2 odometers.

Rebuilders are fine if that is what you need but the disassembly, diagnosis and reassembly of these things is not brain surgery and you may find some simple cleaning or adjustment resolves the problem.

In addition to the above sources, closer to home many have used & recommended MO-MA, 1321 2nd St, Albuquerque NM, 87201. Phone 1-505-766-6661.
 
Just got my TD Speedo back from Nisonger...fine work, very pleased. 6 week turn-around though, so don't be in a hurry.
 
We're gunna need to get the TC gauges rebuilt....does anyone have a rough idea of what it would cost per gauge to have tham done professionally??
