The tach could also have dried out (bad) capacitors. My SDL had that issue. When the car was first started, it would work fine, but after a few minutes the tach would sometimes reset to 0, or randomly peg and wobble from time to time. When I recapped the clock, I did the rest of the instrument panel at the same time. Put a stop to that behavior. The Gen II W126 doesn't have the same black cap in the engine bay, it uses RPM pulses from the EDS system, but the tach itself is similar between the two.
