Hey, BA, does your Odometer still run?

I think you missed the post Craig... I fixed them and they are working fine.
The only issue is the speedo is out by a fair bit?
Silly me. That's great, that you fixed it. Have you changed to a TD42 cluster, or are you still running the TB42 unit? It is easy to drill a hole so you you can adjust the speed reading without having to take the speedo out. I use the small screw caps from the old style power points to seal the hole, but a piece of tape should do.

I have td clocks series 2.. can you adjust the reading for the speedo?
How many kilometres out is it? GQtank's thread should help you, BA.

Ok, Folks. I haven't done a great deal with the gauge cluster as I spiked my little oscilloscope while I was testing a late model diesel injector pulser circuit I am designing.
Unfortunately I threw some cash away on an Allsun EM125 scopemeter. Using it is like trying to eat lunch with a pitch fork.
It wont read frequency within an acceptable scale for speedo calibration and the high voltage is reliant on a x10 switch on the probe, so 240 volts shows up as 23.5volts, which is just bloody dangerous.
I have my eye on a few other scope meters but they are $400 upwards, so I am saving up for one.
I am also having fun and games trying to source stuffed gauge clusters for spares at a reasonable price.
Last time I checked, there is another bloke in central Vic advertising reco cluster for a price I can't match.
If anyone has any stuffed/ spare clusters let me know. Cheers.

have you looked at the 4.19mhz oscillator? its the thing that invariably gets replaced by instrument repairers

Yeah, that and high resistant solder joints. That is a 4.19 crystal. GQ Tank has found the closest available locally is a 4.097mhz crystal from RS electronics, which seems to work fine.Originally Posted by gf0012-aust

you can get the actual proper speed oscillator - I bought half a dozen from a US elec component seller. approx $20 got the lot incl delivery
just checked and now cheaper to buy out of germany
US seller has over 15,000 in stock. German seller just lists 10+
