The VDO brochure shown is from 1956. The brochure is for VW's only
I must say that I have not seen a 6,000 or 8,000 rpm tach with the rings on the face to match the speedo. I have seen them without the rings, but these are generic tachs, not specificly made for VW's. Does anyone have one?

I thought the rest of the 1956 VDO brochure deserves to be listed here:

so i assume 80mm (3 1/8") is the correct size to fit in the oval dash grills? and out of curiosity, did all of those grills for gauges have the same size hole?

I recently almost made a collectors faux pas, I had purchased a couple of gauges and was about ready to sell the 140 lb empi white glove oil pressure gauge when I fortunately noticed that in my full set of white globe gauges the oil pressure was an 85 lb version. All my catalogs show the 140 type.

One is an RPM tach for the North American market and some Euro countries. The other is U/minx100 were for most European coutries. Metric/Imperial Confused

I have a VDO tach that I know little about. I do not know what it is for or when it was made. What I do know is it is a 3 1/8" silver face with chrome ring. It goes to 8000 upm, redline at 6000. The numbers read one digit X 1000. What I find interesting about it is that it is a 6V tach. I will try and post pics as soon as I take them.

Looks like it is from a BMW 1602 or 2002.
