Stewart Warner 960 BL Tachometer: Modernized Restoration with VDO Reliability
This Stewart Warner 960 BL tachometer had a completely failed movement. Our solution was to modernize its internal workings with a reliable VDO Cockpit tachometer movement (an AirCore design) and a new circuit board, ensuring accurate and dependable performance while preserving its original look.
The Modernization Process:
- Full teardown
- Original faulty movement and circuit board removed
- New VDO Cockpit AirCore movement adapter made and installed
- New circuit board integrated
- Housing painted to prevent debris and rust
- Glass extensively cleaned (minor vintage imperfections may be present)
