R-1 Rpm Tachometer

Post by jeffmunday »

Thinking about replacing the mechanical tach with the Electronics International R-1 Rpm Tachometer. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated from anyone that has made the swap.

Done three or four. No complaints, reads to 10 rpm, pulls pulses from mag switch so nothing goes through firewall.

Can be ordered set to TT so more conversions. Costs about what a gage overhaul and new cable costs, maybe less. Recommend to anyone with a failing or failing mechanical tach.
