I don't think i've ever owned a new tach.
For me if its $200 new and $150 used, I'm just going to spend the $200.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat Hear my motor screamin while I'm tearin up the street

Used race parts (and cars for that matter) are being sold for a song right now. Especially stuff with a wire attached to it. New stuff on ebay is Russian roulette unless you know where it's coming from.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

There is a known issue with counterfeit Autometer gauges; I just Googled it and saw links to multiple articles.

I've seen $500.00 Autometer tachometers sell for under $100.00. There were a few that sold recently that were well over $375.00-$400.00 new go for $75.00 shipped. I bought a used Autometer Prostcok tach for $100 in the race classifieds years ago. Never realized how expensive they are now.
