Default VDO Tachs wanted!

I'm updating my dash and am looking for some VDO Tachs and fuel gauge - I know a lot of you guys are going aftermarket and was seeing if anyone held onto their old tachs. The ones that I'm looking for have the square bezels around them - please let me know if you have an extra one or two laying around! Thanks!

I will look, We replaced them on our 87 272 with autometer marine , But I think they went into the trash.

I'm sure they're not the cheapest, but my local boat store actually has some of these VDO gauges in their "back room". Maybe I'll cruise over there tomorrow and see what they want for this stuff.

No luck on that tachs. The fuel gauges that they have are VDO part# 301 205B and 301 205D. They're 12v and 230-330ohm according to the box. Also, these apprear to have the needles that light up; I'm not sure since I haven't looked at my dash in a while. The store is asking for $25 or $28 for the fuel gauge.

For anyone else that might be following, there are a few fuel gauges and perhaps 2 or 3 volt gauges in what looks like our style. If anybody needs any help, let me know.

Raymonds boat sales at Lake of the Ozarks had a bunch of old stock square VDO gauges. Give a call. I think the main location si Gravois Mills, MO
