Tachometer Rebuild

[dtt900653]

does any one have any info about rebuilding early 240z tachs (4 wire). wiring diagrams, comin faliure points, tips, or any thing. i have 2 tachs with 2 different problems and i hope to make one good tach.

tach 1: goes to 9000rpm any time the key is on

tach 2: nothing happens

I have an early tach schematic I will post after I get it scanned. It’s just a very basic two transistor astable (one-shot) multivibrator circuit that drives the meter coil. The transistors are type 2SB189 (PNP 25V 250mA). Looks like you can still get them: http://www.ceitron.com/semi/ceitoshiba.html
