Did you happen to read the msg's about Cessna Oil Pressure gauge? Two possibilities exist that are listed there... but considering the economics of the matter, I'd simply recommend you purchase a new tachometer.

Don't waste your money on rebuilding the old tach (like I did). Buy a new one, and have Mitchell mark it like your old one.
