Vintage 1961 Marine Electric Tachometer Receiver

The Vintage 1961 Marine Electric Tachometer Receiver stands out as a durable piece of mechanical engineering that has endured the test of time. The Marine Electronic Tachometer is designed to measure the revolutions per minute (RPMs) of a boat engine. It utilizes a magnetic pickup located near the rotating engine, generating electric pulses. These pulses have a frequency proportional to the engine speed.

The previous owner of this had installed a wall outlet to illuminate the faceplate. There is no bulb inside it currently.

Notably, the front of the item features the terms ASTERN (back of the ship) and Ahead, along with the company name: TOYKO KEIKI SEIZOSHO., TOKYO, JAPAN. On the bottom, you’ll find additional details such as type, volt, amp, serial number, and the manufacturing date.

For avid collectors, this item is another noteworthy addition to your nautical collection. Please be aware that it is being sold as is, and the working condition is unknown.
