have not used the tach kit but I did buy several of their 5v dash regulators. Very nice item.
I would not fear their products, if that helps
Cheers
Chris

Holy hell! They want $50 for something a 10 year old and a few $3 parts from Radio Shack can put together (speaking of the voltage limiter). Um, no. That's what killed the Mopar muscle car hobby, too many greedy MFr's producing the parts.

Spill the beans if you know how to fix a tach let us know how and what parts.

Well yes I did build several of them with parts from Digi-Key but their limiter pot "looks stock" which can be important when restifying old MOPAR.
Still doesn't change that they have a high quality product(s) and as far as I am concerned a trusted vendor.

care to spread the info? Did you design the circuit, or find one online? Main reason is I have an old autogage tach that isnt working and want to repair it if possible. |

An Autogage? Just buy a new one. No offense but they aren't really worth the expense of repairing as they are the lower quality Autometer line and not real accurate to begin with.
