Analysis
This is a highly desirable vintage part, specifically a Jones Motrola mechanical tachometer, often used in 1960s hot rods, drag cars, and marine applications. It features a period-correct 0-8,000 RPM face and is mounted in a cast aluminum housing (cup), which adds to the value. Since no asking price was provided, the verdict is neutral. If the unit functions (the mechanical drive is not seized) and the glass is cleanable, it commands a premium in the traditional hot rod market. Untested or seized units are worth significantly less (~$100-$150).
