My friend Gradey showed me a tach he has had since he was a kid, anyone ever see a Mr Gasket Tach ? Who manufactured it. As you can see by the picture it is like NOS and really neat.

Just guessing here......Looks like it could have been made by Actron ..the later home of Sun/Sunpro .. This is a local, Cleveland, based company that may of had ties to Mr. G....A lot of the early Mr.G stuff was made here in Cleveland and then repackaged as Mr.G...The redine adjustment dial and pointer definatly look like a Sun product....The font and colors look a bit "cheaper"..more of a "knock off" line ..I believe Actron aquired Sunpro in the late 1980's.However the Mr.G logo and redline adjustment dial appear to be of a much much eariler vintage.... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Update...I just bought one at a swap meet today. The Mr Gasket logo is a sticker on the face covering possibly another name..I took mine apart to clean it and found no name or ID on the inside. The guts are NOT similar to a Sun unit....It is however a very cool "Day 2" piece!
