factory tach question

[Woodys cudas]

I have an opportunity to buy a 68' 69' Barracuda factory tachometer... what is the current price no knowing if it works or not? It has been in dry storage for many years...
Thanks in advance
Woody

One sold on Ebay last week for $237.50 in unknown working condition. I was watching it.

I was gonna say 200 to 250.

I paid $250 and it needed a new board(didnt know at the time) From what I have been told unless you upgrade to the new board the old electrical boards arent accurate and "jumpy". Still cool though, I couldnt resist.

He is firm on a price of $200.00. This includes the rest of the gauges but with a broken dash bezel. Still not knowing if any work.
Thoughts...

If you dont get it someone else will for that price. Trust me its worth it. Reproductions are $180 and are not the same.

I'm the guy that bought the tach on eBay for $237.50. I was very happy to get it for that price. It just arrived today and I don't know if it works. Does anybody on this thread know if this tach needs a sending unit?

I actually wanted a 1967 tach, but I haven't seen one and none of the repos look very good. I think the original tachometers look very cool. $200 is a good price.

no it does not need a sending unit if for a non console a-body. if console tach the 66 and earlier do use one.

I sold a 65 "S" tach for $200, crazy money back then when the entire car cost me $800. Electronics, even PC boards are easy to fix: just replace the components, resolder traces, even the board can be breadboarded.
