I've used them for 14 years and they are original looking. They are also the most bouncing and twitchy-needled group of gauges I've seen. Night time illumination among my Smith / Lucas gauges is not well matched.

When I've got my right foot planted on the floor, I don't know if the engine is turning 6,200, 6,600 or 6,800 rpm because of the tach's +/- needle swing.

I'll probably do a complete change over to the Kirkham gauges.
