Has anyone ever replaced the light bulb in an original Sun Super Tach? How do you get it apart to get at the bulb? Thanks for any input.

Thanks for your reply. I did see this before, but thought I would check if it was really that hard to disassemble or if maybe someone has run into this when upgrading to LEDs.

That looks great! I got the LED bulbs yesterday, but don't know how to get the tach apart to get to the bulb. I don't want to damage it. It's been in my car for probably 40 years and I don't remember exactly how it's put together.
