![]() ![]() It's slow to register changes and I don't have any real data on battery usage, as I don't use it much. The other is a Cermark digital jobbie that reads out to the exact RPM (that's nice, but ?). It's accurate and repeatable enough for everyday tuning chores, has an on/off switch and is kind to the battery. My favorite is the old purple Royal digital one that uses a 9V battery. they may have simply not been paying attention to that little detail as character displays are usually 6 o'clock view by default. a while back i heard they were having problems finding stock of the needed display so what they did find may have simply had the wrong orientation. *that may or may not depend on the run my unit came from. if all you've ever used is one of the cheap tachs then you can't understand how much better it really can get until you actually use the TNC. but function wise it is head and shoulders above everything else out there. wrong display orientation*, no protection over the display, display cutout off center and a bunch of other little nags.the original TNC was the same in those regards. i just don't see it as polished as it should/could be for the price, even for something made in small runs. digikey sells the panasonic brand for 28 cents each in single quantity and you can find similar prices on ebay for cards of ten.Īnd don't get me wrong on the TNC, it works great and i can read it just fine for normal use. the CR2032 is the most common coin cell of all and actually dirt cheap. and i don't know where all the "expensive coin cells" misinformation comes from, most likely advertising hype. ![]() ![]() Only globee i've ever seen used a regular 9v battery and pretty much sucked overall compared to my 25+ year old royal digital tach which still works fine and will easily take a reading from well over 2 feet even in less than ideal light. ![]()
