Non-Rallye tach experts, please chime in

Found a complete cluster with a tachometer some time ago... tach is in need of some serious TLC - will restore the face as well as convert to electronic ignition.

Seems like the old gauge is in need of a bit more than cosmetic touch-ups though - looks like the needle is just hanging there on the jewel pin:

The magnetic coil thing moves and needle follows it sometimes and gets stuck sometimes... so, I get the feeling something's missing from the needle/pin. Is it supposed to float freely like this?

Would I be better off sending the tach to someone who knows what they are doing instead of trying to mess with it myself? If so, any recommendations for a rebuilding service?

IMHO, do not touch. Contact: http://www.mrheaterbox.com/heaterbox.htm

Tell him your story and what, exactly, you would like done.

Thanks. Just sent them an e-mail. Might be a better idea to let someone who knows his way around these to do the job...
