Default Trying To Locate 5" Tachometers

I've been looking all over, I can't seem to find much that resembles my current gauges, I was hoping someone might no where to locate a pair. the boat currently has a 5" dual tach that is floating with a 5" speedometer next to it which I will remove...

Looking for silver 6000-7000 rpm Tachs, 5 inch diameter. (6000 would be best)

Other than that I need someone that can repair gauges, no luck there from the OEM, bought out and do not support the prior regimes gauges...

What problems are you having ? Some ‘dead’ tachs can be brought back to life by slowly turning #cyl select dials slowly back snd forth. This cleans their internal contacts. Fixed two tachs just last year by doing this. Make sure to put disls back in sane exact position they where before you touched them.

I have done that multiple times, works for a bit than comes back... I have always referenced my tachs often when boating

note the index marks on the rear of the tachs

Looks like it's been apart before. I wonder if an "Electronics repair guy" could go in and repair it?

Type in tachometer repair to a search engine and a kazzillion places appear.

Since turning the cyl select switches works for a bit, the issue should be right there at the contacts.

I come across various 5 inch tachs in this Faria 2022 Aftermarket catalog in various series they offer.
None really in silver though.

Their Columbia series looks like it might be a close match to your existing but they're only multifunction.

Have you called them to see if they would do a 5 inch silver?
They might do customs outside of their cataloged items.
