That is way cool. I always wanted a tach for my 200D. Back in 1971, I bought a tach for my R-50/2 and I always thought that VDO tach could be made to drive off OM 621/61x engines by using the base of a gasser distributor stuck in the oil pump drive in place of the top plug. Then In the 80s I looked at the electric pickup Diesel tachs, but they were pricey.
This looks like something even i could build, on a breadboard, at least. I could probably find someone around this town who could build (etch) a circuitboard for me. aesthetically, I think the 2" round black/white VDO would look more appropriate in the 200D than a digital tach though.
