My tach is the second one. Original failed after about 200 hours but
was replaced when Catalina replaced the whole panel under warranty.
It has always fogged up --can't read the hours after 30 min of
operation. I just wonder if this is why so many are going bad???
What is the expected life of a tach? Ours is 4 years old. This has
just over 500 hours on it.
