Question Tachometer
I'm looking for a 3 1/2" -3 3/8 " Dia. tach with a black face and chrome bezel.

I would appreciate everyone's thoughts / ideas on what is a good tach for under $75 - $100

Also, does anyone know where I can find a clock with the same parameters? I've done quite a bit of searching but only pull up 2 1/16" as the largest diameter?

It's not a big deal but I wanted to have symmetry. I really don't want to go to a tach that size, too small.

The old reliable tach was a Sun Super Tach II. I don't know what size they were, but I think they were definitely over 3".

It's swap meet season so prepare a shopping list, get a wad of cash, and hit the rows... there is gold at the meets!

Example: I got this $120 Autometer Sport Comp tach for a mere $20!!!
