Our work
What happens to your tachometer
Not a blanket swap, but a repair component by component – the same for every instrument, whether gasoline or diesel.
Incoming inspection and disassembly
As soon as your instrument arrives, we inspect it and find out what is wrong. Then it is fully disassembled: needles, dial, clock movement and the tachometer's circuit board are laid out individually on the bench.
Every component measured
Resistors, capacitors and all other electronic components are measured individually. That way we find not just the one obvious fault, but also components that have already drifted out of tolerance and would fail next.
Defective components replaced
Whatever is no longer in good condition gets replaced. Electrolytic capacitors are the most common victims: after more than 30 years they have dried out or leaked. In the photo, an old capacitor from a tachometer on the left, the new replacement part on the right.
Reassembled and tested under power
After reassembly we connect the instrument and test it under power: Does the clock run, does the tachometer read cleanly? Only when everything is right does your instrument go back to you, insured.
Everything included for 60 €
Disassembly, measuring, new capacitors and components as needed, reassembly and final test. No hidden costs – only return shipping is added.
