Are you a skilled electronics technician or do you have a freind who is, and owes you a favor? If so, the tach may be repairable. If not there is no way you can fix the tach's electronic innards.

It couldn't hurt to take the gauge console out and check over the leads going to the tach. They're pretty prone to corrosion.
