10 000 RPM Tach

[1st]

Greetings

I've had this for years, can anyone advise what it might have come out of?

It has a white over-rev "tell-tale" needle, reset from the rear of the instrument, and is date stamped 7.67.

Cheers

I have seen simmilar ones in 904/906's but maybe a Carrera 6 as the date would be closer....just a guess

'65 Carrera GTS

Looks like a mechanical drive with 1:4 gear reduction. Cool piece.

It's always intriguing to hear stories of lost treasure. What circumstances surrounded the acquisition of this tach?

Looks like a chronometric and judging by the date stamp of 67', it could've been used in a 910 which was the year of the 910. SS

I am w/ flunder that it looks to have a mech. drive. Late 356 C's already had elec. tachs. Another detail is that the center button seems to be black while street Porsche's had chrome till the early 70s?

Looks like a 904 unit? Just like the mech tach in Alex's car here:

Thanks for the replies all- and for the pics.

I bought it in the early years of ebay because the green instrument markings reminded me of those in my '65 901.

When I dug it our recently I noticed it's engraved with "9.17 . 79W" on the rear- see the picture.........although 7.67 sounds too early for a 917?

Thanks again,

Stewart.
