Is yours working alright at the moment though? I was only going to replace mine because I thought it was dying. Even my mechanic was happy about the improvement when I replaced the starter battery.

I wonder if the tacho wire is running along the aerial coaxial cable or something and it's picking up energy? Seems more like the radio is fine, and the tacho needs investigating 🤔

could be . the aerial lead runs parallel to a harness for about a foot. it might be the engine harness.

In over 30+ years I've had good experience with Becker radios. Started with a 3201, which was replaced with a 4201 and currently a 6201 (currently $2500 from Mendelssohn). In all that time I've never had to have any of them serviced.
