EA, consider sending the tach to a rebuilder. Broken, it has little value, 
but working, its worth maybe $200-$250. Both Panteras and Mangustas all use 
the same tach. Once the bezel ring is pried off, there's only a small 
circuit board inside. On mine, a single glass resistor has cracked in two; 
replacing it cost $2.50...   Once apart, you can easily add extra light bulbs like 
the Space City guys do, for better night driving. Johnny Woods adds a 
chrome-tape reflector around the back edge to get the same benefits. Just a 
thought- J DeRyke
