[TR] Tr3 temp gage

[Geo Hahn]

Here is a site with some useful info:


Smiths/Jaeger Speedometer Repair
Manual<http://home.comcast.net/~rhodes/PDF/speedo.pdf>



The tach is much the same inside as the speedo only simpler (no odo's) and
easier to repair.  At the very least you can decide if you want tackle it
yourself.



The temp gauge also has DIY instructions on the web but that is a bit
trickier -- bordering on a lab experiment from second semester chemistry.



I have fixed speedos & tachs -- haven't (yet) had to delve into the temp
gauge fix.
