Just got a call from APT Instruments about my Eldo's tach. The damage
is $160 for a blown coil that runs the needle - a new is required to fix
it. He said that Vaglia was known to have coils that go out.
Everything else is in good shape inside. Many thanks to Fred Sahms who
sent me their way.
The original bezel is a bit bent from some many removals (even has a
small tear in the metal that will only get larger and allow water to get
in) so they are going to put on an aftermarket bezel kit that comes with
new glass, seals and bezel. He said that it isn't exactly the same look
as the original units but is pretty good for $20. So if you need a new
bezel&glass&seals for your instruments, try APT (http://www.gaugeguys.com/repair.htm).
