They're not that easy to take apart, to the lengths you have to go in order 
to remove debris from the meter movement.   Or, as sometimes is the case, 
repair the bushings of the movement which may have "popped out" and left 
the meter movement rattling loose.

This is not bad logic.  Lew is good at it and he has parts on hand.   I've 
done this sort of work before and I know how tacky it can be especially if 
you do not have an adequate supply of mechanical repair parts (which I 
don't really have, although I do have electronic tach parts).    Also, Lew 
is a bit of an institution among Corsa.   Patronizing his business is a 
good thing.
