Hi Oliver,
Tach is driven by the dynamo through the little gearbox at the back.
If you unscrew the tach cable from the gearbox you should be able to see
the end of the output shaft turning. If it's not turning, either the
gearbox is loose on the dynamo or gearbox is at fault. If it is turning,
then reconnect cable and see if the top end of cable is turning at the
tach itself. If cable is turning, the trouble is in the instrument
itself. Send it out to Moma Engineering or Nisonger to have it mended.
Be very careful when removing the curved glass; it is difficult to find
replacement.
