Tach hours not working

[flyboy0681]

I recently discovered that the hours on the tach have stopped working. I really don't want to go through the expense of buying a new one, so I was wondering if there are any shops out there that specialize in a repair of this type.

There are several. Just can’t bring the name of the one in Fl we used to use, they were an instrument repair station, remarked A/S speed indicators and repaired instruments, they aren’t uncommon.

I have never used this resource, just found it on Google but it ought to give some names you can call

Just remembered it was Naylor’s located in Gainsville, it’s a small shop from memory it used to be a quickie mart building or similar, I haven’t been there in years

I spoke to Naylor, who was extremely informative. They can't do the job because they wouldn't be able to certify the tach, but suggested that I contact Aircraft Spruce because they are a Mitchell dealer and can have the hours meter set to a predetermined value before shipping it out. But thanks for the reply.

You can reach out to Mitchell directly if it is a Mitchell tach, i did this last year and they where extremely helpful.

Maybe you are thinking this is a problem, when it is in fact a blessing. LOL
