I don't know how desperate you are or how much of a rush, but there is one on ebay. Seems priced high for the condition? The listing says he does ship to Canada.

I tried to buy that tachometer. When I tried to pay , I was told the seller does not ship to Canada. I have a mail address in Point Roberts, WA, but the border is closed, indefinitely.

Well that's got to be frustrating. The seller could at least update his listing...

There was an IHC wrecking yard in the next city. I remember these tachometers on their show=room shelves. Sadly the yard is gone. It was forced out of business by environmental law changes and the rapid rising of real-estate. The yard was about $100K 50 years ago and it sold for well over a million dollars. I takes a long time in business to make that kind of money selling used Binder Bits. I bought lots of parts there. I traded a few complete trucks for parts and future consideration.

I am still in the market for this tachometer. The vehicle wrecking/recycling yard that used to have lots of Old IHC parts was closed more than a decade ago.

That one is marked for RED engine. When I first read you post I thought you were saying it was for a S-160, old eyes aren't what they used to be!
I'd love to find one marked for the BLD, but they are very few and very far between.
