You may want to look into retrofitting an updated circuit board. Erratic/inaccurate needle operation could depend on the ignition system you're using. Sometimes the modern MSD type ignitions don't play well with tachs that were originally intended to be used with dual point or early transistorized systems.Swapping in a modern circuit board could ostensibly solve the issue.If it's got power and ground, there's probably not much inside that can be 'fixed' beyond getting another one. If you can get beyond the portraits on the main page, maybe see if this guy can help. Tachman

I was told about a automotive instrument repair shop in Tacoma or Seatle that does old car instrument repairs along with the more common repairs, I can't remember the shops name now but they told me about another speciality shop down in L.A.,CA for after market Sun electrical instrument repairs like I wanted done. I ended up buying new VDO instruments for that car instead of spending more for the repairs than the new ones cost I do have one older (mid 1970 to mid 1980s or so) Mallory electric tach that the needle fell off that I may have done for my 1963 Plymouth Fury some day once it is back in line for finishing
