I misplaced it @ 2 months ago, and spent most of the past couple of months looking for it.....I thought I lost it while up north in Maine in July...
This morning, I went out to the car I drove back in mid August that has been sitting unused since, opened the dashboard compartment, and THERE it WAS..!!!
I have owned it for 5+ yrs now, buying it from a fellow who tried to do an "Oxy-Clean" treatment on the case without removing the "tachy" ring, and discovering that the numbers were quite soluble in Oxy-Clean...
When I lost it I was quite upset, since these haven't been built in several years now, and have become quite dear on the used market, when one does occasionally pop up...
I actually prefer the look of the dial without the useless(to me anyhow) tachy scale, since the dial is "busy" enough with the sub dials and the branding printing....
And...I'm pretty sure I've got the only one like it around....
