From the info on the list, I managed to catch my tach on the shelf before
it
was mailed. All of the other instruments I had were sealed and unable to
remove the face and figured the tach was the same. I was very glad to see
the 8 small screws and removeable face. Didn't call AS&S on the advise of
replacing the glass myself will no doubt be a hell of alot cheaper than
returning the tach and having it mailed back again. $5.00 at Speedy auto
glass and having the tempered glass used but I will be sending Mitchell an
E-mail very soon. AS&S can't really do much other than replace the item. I
bought the tach in November also.

Most Interesting - I installed a Mitchell Tachometer
in a Cessna 150 in mid November, and about a week
later the glass broke. We ordered a Mitchell
replacement glass and replaced it today. On the
first flight it broke again!

How long ago did you purchase yours, and what did
Aircraft Spruce have to say?

I just bought all my stuff from Aircraft Spruce.
Only problem I have had so
far was the Mitchell Tach. Placed it in the dash
and four days later the
glass was cracked across the face from the two lower
screws. Can't believe
I caused this from over tightening 6-32 screws. Will
see what AS&S has to
say when I return it.
