Looks good...I think Auto Instruments is telling you stories. The lense shouldn't have been glued to the bezel. The faceplace just pops on, and the lense is removable with small screwdriver.

I totally agree. I think when they took it apart they stripped out the screw holes and just glued it back together. Looks alot better now.

Looks beautiful! Coming along great!

Anyone been to Luigi's Italian Restaurant in Clymer?

Was there years ago, wasn't sure if it was still open.

Tasty!

I asked them to address the yellowed face. They said that they could not access the inside face because of the Dixco assembly process where the lense was glued to the Yenko Crest bezel. Well Joe worked his magic when the hood tach came back to Donahue and the results are below. Mighty impressive Joe &lt;img src=&quot;https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...cked.gif&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt; !!

Let me tell you something to your restored Yenko Hood Tach.

They changed the complete inner mechanic with a very later dated unit ~1977. You can see the difference in the lighting. Your lighting is placed in front behind the black Yenko bezel. Original the lighting is in the case behind the 8000 RPM display with a large bulb.

Early Yenko Dixco’s had 4 cables: White, Black, Green and Red

Later produced Dixco’s with the lighting in front comes just with tree cables: Black, Green and Red.

Second thing: The adjusting knob looks like a later dated, also in mid-70th years.

About me, the restoring company made just a swap in your tach. They kept the rare original Yenko unit. Probably the Yenko Bezel is also a reprint, it looks like one.
