Tachometer Help

["Jason Burden" <jayburden@home.com>]

HI! I recently bought a 1967 Sprite. Car runs and looks great, one problem..
the tachometer pins out as soon as you start the car. This is the original
unit that was in the car. The previous owner said it has never worked, which
is obvious. My question is this, any simple fix? Any idea? Or is it better
to purchase a new one (which I would like to avoid after seeing the price
tag) I know nothing about the inner workings of a tachometer so any help or
tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
