Tach replacement

Lets assume you have a 50 year old tach (original equipment) on a New Gen tractor. The tach is frozen. Any opinions on whether to just buy a new one or to have the original overhauled/repaired? I hear the money is about the same. I personally might be a little spooked if I was buying a 50 year old tractor and the new tach said say 500 hours and the seller said "yes that is a replacement tach, we had 3,000 hours on it before replacement". Wonder who to believe. Thinking for resale purpose might be better to rebuild the original one?
 
Keep the old tach take a pic with it in the tractor and when you sell it give it and the pic to the new owner.
 
I had a tach rebuilt by Star Speedometer in Florida (he advertises in Green Magazine). It came back looking like a brand new one--excellent job. He gave me the option of resetting the rebuilt one to the original hours or back to zero (or, I suppose, any other number I might have chosen). Don't recall the cost.
 
Star Speedometer did one for me too_Old tach was not working when tractor was overhauled this spring so decided to put in a new one.Ended up putting in three new tach In less than hundred hours.Mexican junk.Sent the old one to Florida got it back and works great.Cost me two hundred forty to fix it along with a new cable. Good guy to deal with.
