Re: Digest Number 2258

[Gordon Bruce Lawson]

When I first started up my TD after a number of years stored, my tach
needle wasn't working... I removed the bezel and glass and found
that the little rubber rest had produced a tiny (really tiny) drop of
(?) and the needle was stuck to it... this happened once more this
year and i removed the rubber...
If you didn't also have problem #5, i would suggest looking there
first... there again, I believe your instruments and the late TD's
are not quite the same (bet the little rubber rest is however).


1) sometimes work just fine;
2) sometimes stick at 0 MPH; then,
3) suddenly start to work fine again; then,
4) stick at 30 MPH.; and then, to really cap it all off,
5) madly spin all the way up and over, coming down to rest at six o'clock.
