Repros are the cheapest way to go.
Unless you have a 99 point show car and need the extra point thats what I would do.
If you want to sell the old one,I need a hood tach housing for a project.
Email me if you want to help offset the cost of a new one.

Don't know about the cosmetic state of the tach, but internals should have
to cost more thant $20 in parts... what a quote... did you check out
circuits like these:

and this IC: http://www.national.com/mpf/LM/LM2917.html
Dont' know how original you want to go, but this just IS updated circuitry
and totally 'stealth'
