    '83 850l

    I took a compass and made a complete, even circle around roughly the middle of my tach (same principle); then put it in a vice protected with a towel, and carefully sawed my way all the way around. After troubleshooting, oiling, and cleaning up as best I could the white plastic shavings that got inside, I put it back in the vice, matched up the halves, and used metal repair tape to carefully seal it back together.

    This is similar, if not the same as the Getting Inside Your Guages post. With the black plastic sleeve back on, and the guage reinstalled, it's an invisible repair. Well worth a try too, since a new tach is over $250 (speedo discontinued).

      I WILL properly fix the good one soon!
