As far as I know they are still around. They also are on eBay.

I'm pretty sure eBay is the only way of dealing with them now.

I just bought a tach upgrade board directly from them on their website. Transaction went smoothly and the board arrived a week later. I installed the board and it works as advertised.

I would have not problem recommending them.

The installation was pretty straight forward and simple. You just need to know how to use a soldering iron.

Here are a couple of pictures after I completed the conversion...

Just a tid bit, I sent my tach to them for the install, so that they could calibrate it to the new board.

Thanks all. I will compare the cost to each option and go from there. It would be nice not to destroy a $100 piece!

The boards have a calibrate mode which is pretty easy to use. From my recollection, you just set the dip switches for two different RPMs and adjust the potentiometer for the proper reading.

Agreed, I remember calibrating the board, it was very simple to do and if I recall correctly it hardly needed any calibrating.
