I think I have a tach that I bought on eBay that would work for your later
6, mine's a 1970. Be happy to take a reasonable amount for it, dude shipped
it to me despite finsing out it was wrong item after the bid, although I
offered to buy something else for similar money. (sigh)
It sits on the bookcase in my office next to a Matchbox 6 in my color....
And would do worlds better informing you of how fast you're going since your
speedo probably floats like mine. Keeps the brain cels active, doing ratio
conversions when you see a cop and glance at the tach, remember what gear
you're in, and ....
Contact me at this email or work glc@rowesprinkler.com if you're interested.
And congrats on the purchase, drivers are fun 'cause ya get to use em more
often, and wasn't that the whole point of having a tr6?

Subject: [6pack] Question on speedo & tach light colors for '73
A few months back I bought a '73 driver. It came with the wrong tach
from an earlier style dash (wrong number font and pointer), but a
correct-style tach was in the trunk --- it has a broken pointer/needle.
Recently the odometer stopped working and I'm planning to get the speedo
repaired and want to get the correct tach repaired as well. I notice
that the speedo has green "domes" for the instrument lights, as does the
wrong tach. There's a small area of green paint on the inside of the
case. The "correct" tach has blue "domes" with an area of dark (black?)
paint inside the case.
I think the instruments would look strange at night if the speedo had
green lights and the tach had blue, so I'm thinking of having the tach
face with the correct font installed in the case with green domes and
paint. Is there any reason not to do this?
More generally, can someone explain which models should have which color
domes in the speedo/tach? Inquiring minds want to know....
TIA,
Cregg Cowan
