....... seen or had this happen?
The mechanical tachometer cable ate up the gear in the accessory case. Cable was down to what looked more like a cylinricial (sp) brush for an electric motor with a large amount of metal fine enough it looked like graphite. Was not though. The case gear is wollowed out to the point that no key way is left. This set up had just been run for the first time after a (zero) time rebuild. No sign of wear at engine removal. ????
