"Maybe I have been around vintage engines TOO LONG. When I was exposed to the infrared temperature gun I was amazed and ran out to get one. CLEARLY, it came in handy in so many repairs on our boat.
Today, on an episode of ShipShape TV, I see them use a photo tach to measure RPM. Surely they must cost a bundle but my tachs are so off that I use my swing needle sync gauge and that audible harmonic drone to get them sync'd and close enough to the "semi-accurate gauge". Seems like the most expensive one on the net is less than $30.00
Has anyone had any experience with these type of photo tachs? Any good?"
