The needle is "underdamped" . It happens in time. Someget dry,corrode
and stick others get dry and very free on the jeweled pivots.
Proper cleaning and relubrication is the only cure.
You can do the PO thing and pry it apart yourself ,but odds are it will
end up like so many other PO repairs . There is an EXCELLENT speedo shop
in Farmington Michigan. I prefer his work to the vaulted West Coast
operations. Let me know if you need his number.

| Ever since I've had the Eldo the tach needle waves around during acceleration and decel.(maybe plus/minus 800-1000 RPM) and then settles down when RPM's stabilize. PO said this was normal for tach's of this vintage, and I didn't know any better, but I'm starting to doubt it. Bad ground, other connection, or bad tach, (or "normal")??? Thanks for the input.
