Hi everybody There seems to be some confusion with some people on the list about new type 3/34. I did not (read: NOT, as in negative) say anybody was going to build these. I merely said that they were going to produce the instruments (these things with dials in the dashboard about 2 inches away from your nose). The reason I mailed this to the groups is that these are not just repro's by some obscure company, but the original ones manufactured by VDO. So they should be exactly like the original, also the innerparts and the VDO name. With regard to the tacho's, the scale will be exactly like the old ones that were used for the home (read European) market. This means the divisions will be in 10, 20, etc x100, not like the exports ones which were divided in 1,2, etc x1000. This for the real NOS style lovers amongst us. If anybody is planning on calling the guy, you are free to mention my name, might get some discount next time I buy stuff from him. He speaks very good English, but be aware, a tacho in German apparently means a speedo (?) so explain that you want the thing indicating the engine revs. Before replying, please read the above mentioned again, think about it, and then respond. If anybody has information for me regarding the part about the distributor that will be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck and that thing is begining to irritate me. I want to get it operational again. Hope things are clear now, Cheers, Theo Thepen@pi.net
