As my four year old granddaughter would say (if she was into corny humor) thanks "Care Bear"!
Much appreciated - I'll post you all on the repair situation for your future info.
Bear, thanks again.

This longtime favorite line of tachometers is now being produced by Skyborn Electrics! A good tachometer allows you to select the best prop for your application, properly set the fuel mixture and type and tune your engine for best performance. Because they have a built-in, high-gain amplifier and very sensitive photo transistor, TNC tachometers can read rpm several feet away from the prop, and they aren't affected by clouds or sun. They also use a temperature-compensated, crystal-controlled oscillator for timing, so they're incredibly accurate.
Skyborn Electronics (972) 267-5099; skybornelectronics.com. The link to the web site seems to be broken. Another phone number I found is
469-916-9719 and a fax 214-337-6623. Hope this helps. A guy on the Stuka Stunt Forum called around April of last year and was able to order a new one and maybe they will also do repairs.
I know TNC is no longer in the business (damn it) but does anyone know where I might be able to get mine repaired (or get another one)? It really is a superior instrument and I'm reluctant to get something inferior.
Thanks in advance
