I will bet those tachs run like Swiss Watches! (Sorry couldn't resist).

Seriously though, your work looks beautiful and I'm sure functions just as well. Glad to have you on the forum. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Hi folks

Many thanks for all your feedbacks.

Yes, our tachs are working like Swiss Watches. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

If somebody wants a perfect Hood Tachometer restoration, please send full picture documentation. Also from the inside to:

dixco@gmx.ch

We will let you know, how big is the parts search and restoration work. In other words, we give you our opinion, if a restoration is practicable or not.

Here a picture from a full restored ultra-rare <span style="font-weight: bold">Dixco HT/x – 977</span> from 1972.





Thanks
Pat

<span style="color: #FF0000">PS: I agree, nothing is faster than a Deuce. Have fun!!!</span>

I didn't get any pics. They were all forbidden/removed. Need to get them in an e mail file somehow so I can run it off on my copier.

Default Long way home

<span style="font-size: 14pt">When I met Earl and Linda Roof for the first time at the tail end of 2009 at their home in Creekside, PA, they gave me their remaining oil-change-worth of the only oil good enough for their Deuce. I was flying back to AZ, so I left the 5 quarts of Wolf's Head at my sister's in Oakdale near the PGH Airport. I recently got them back to Dayton and then brought them back to AZ last week to reunite with the car. It's a little thing, but serves to highlight the Roof's passion for their Deuce. What a combo: <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Wolf's Head Racing Oil + Sunoco's high octane 260! </span></span> [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img] </span>

Craig,

Can't remember off the top of my head. The mayor (Schonye) will have to chime in. I do know they were not cheap!
