Vintage style Autometer Tach

Didn't Autometer build an "anniversary" model vintage style tach? Does anyone know where to locate one of these? I've done serveral searches but came up with nothing. I'm looking for a tach to mount on top of the dash of my 40 Ford. Would like a high quality tach mounted in a chrome cup with a flat mounting bracket. Something that would look at home in a 50-60s vintage hot rod.
Thanks,
Norris

Thanks, but nope. The one I remember looked like an old Sun tach with a "half sweep" dial.

 

I think your referring to this one. 2007 limited release

I like AutoMeter's stuff, except they need to learn how to paint needles white instead of day-glo orange.

 

The style of tach you are refering to is not really 50/60's era correct-if that matters to you.

The 439 series competition tach was introduced in Nov 1969.

I just sold a whole bunch of NOS ones.

 

What style tach was available in the 50s and early 60s?

 

Moon has one that looks like to old Sun.It comes with bracket for
steering column or dash mount.

 

Why not go on E-bay and get an original Sun tach instead of a repro, thats what i have in my 39.

 

I second the Sun Tach. Fairly cheap. Only problem with Ebay/Used is it may not work but Williamsons in Arkansas can fix them.

 

$69

 

Moon tach looks right. Do you know if it comes with a dash(flat) bracket? Description in catalog doen't say.

 

With a name like that, it's easy to see were they price there stuff at.




This is more like what they would have had in the 40's and 50's....

I think these were available in several different ranges... 5 grand 6 grand etc... I plan on transplanting in some newer 'guts' and maybe changing it to read to 6 grand for a nice large swing of the dial. I'll stick with the same SW logo, numbers/formate and color in a 6000 rpm face...

I alway enjoyed seeing the needle really sweep hard when you go thru the gears. I figure a 6000 rpm sweep in 270 degrees.... That needles gonna bounce into second gear, but so are the rear tires
