Dave:
I have a limited number of late 50's early 60's Sun tachs. These were government take outs from scrapped equipment. They have a 3.5" white face with a 3500 rpm limit. Perfect for the Dodges. The neat thing about these are that they use a D cell battery for power. Therefore they will work on 6, 12, or 24 volt systems. Mine's still on the same Duracell for the last 3 years. There is a test button that swings the needle to check the battery.
I dissassemble them, replacing parts that are bad due to age, re calibrate and re seal the units.
The case is 4 3/4" diameter by 5" long. As they are a government unit, these were very expensive and highly accurate units.
I've sold a few to other 6 volt nuts like us and am asking $80. E mail me if interested. I can fax you a pix if you want.
