Gene Berg Enterprises wasn't opened till 1969. The tachs they sell are Autometer, at least that's what they had when I bought mine from them.

darthy i think he meant.. wat kind/ a picture of the tach on the black 67' berg racer they run... :D

Oh! Well, in that case it is an Autometer tach, monster tach I think they call it???

Or he is interested in the tach used in Gary's blue 67, "the bergler" (not sure of Gary's correct spelling regarding his car). Did the blue street car utilize a different tach then the black race car?

This might be it, or very close. Polished bezel and black body with a polished pedestal mount. From my crusty old memory that's what it looked like.

Are you sure?

I think it's this model no but autometer?

That's not the one I recall seeing in their black race car, or Gary's street car. Berg was always very particular about gauges. I know the only tachs they've ever offered for sale are Autometer, at least as far back as I remember....like early 70's.

Sorry to disappoint. The tach in the Berglar is not any of the ones shown in this thread.

He doesn't say much but he's been around a long time; there's a reason he calls himself "Originalpanzer".

Ahh, I meant no offence, its just sometimes people come out of nowhere (like a panzer)its a shame they don't really join in the banter of the Samba and pass on the wealth of knowledge that they hold in their heads

I like my privacy and my friends....I post very rarely if at all.

I would suggest that if you want pics, the best pics are those in the VW Trends article on the Berglar. Articles in Trends are the best as well. :)
