How much does a tic-toc-tach go for?

[Dino]

Looking around for one but not a clue what they are worth.  I also have electronic ignition so not sure if I need to look for a nos tach or repro.

Bought mine from Y1 and use it with an MSD, no issues. They aren't cheap but I really wanted one for the car even though it came with a clock.

Buddy just found an NOS tic-toc in the factory packaging. We're trying to figure out some value, too...

[Dino]

Found a guy locally selling one for $500, nos, seems a bit steep.  Another for $300 but needs to be calibrated, needle rests around the 200 rpm mark instead of zero.

FYI- they were never really that acurate from day 1.  Even the clock tended to break shortly after the car was sold.

Yeah that's the other problem, it's a lot of money for a tach that pretty much is there for looks.  Anyway, the one I was talking about is on ebay, buy it now is $335 I think, I'm passing on it but someone else may want it.

Maybe I'll just upgrade the clock to quartz, it's not that I really need a tach with an auto.

If you are going to upgrade it anyway, why not just get the repro ones that already have the quartz clock in it?

Are you talking about a repro clock or tic-toc-tach?  If the repro tach for $400 has a quartz clock AND works with the electronic ignition....that would make the deal a bit sweeter.

If it's the clock then I would have to either upgrade and fix mine (stem broke) or get another one.

6 months ago I sold one unrestored on eBay for $275. I too have electronic ignition. It seemed like a better deal to just sell that one and buy a new unit than go through that one. If it was stock to my car, I would have just fixed that one.

I sold a nice used one on eBay a couple of years ago for around 300 bucks.

The main problem with the factory clocks were they wroked till the battery went dead the first time. These clocks have a set of points in them that when they close, The arc makes them spring back open winding the clock again. When the battery goes dead, the points stay closed and basically fuse together making the clock inoperable. Most times you can pop open the points with a small screw driver, Clean them with some fine sand paper and they work again.
