<VV> Corvair Tachometers

[Cliff Tibbitts]

Okay, I'll bite.  Say I have a doorbell transformer, how do I hook it to the
tach?  Is it as simple as one side to the "+" terminal on the tach and the
other to the "coil" terminal?  I seem to recall Bob Helt recommending you
ground the tach body as well.

Door bell transformers work great.
