Do a google search for "tachometer repair" you'll pull up quite a few- no experience with any of them, just phone calls- some sounded like they coould fix a tach, some sounded like they did't have a clue.
Good luck

So far I've sent inqueries to at least 6 "tach repair' places from Hemmings, and from doing searches on the net. AND, so far not one replay. I know I can buy new tachs from "the truck shop" for like $99. but after paying like $125-150 for tach dash assemblies at swap meets, laying out another $100 for a good tach kind of kills the thrill of the find!! I can't believe that they can't be fixed for $10. worth of electronic components and about 15 minutes of labor!!

I've taken a few apart and mostly cleaning them up works to get them active again.
I've only had 1 in probably 10 that I couldn't get work and it was under water for 3 months.
