    Never seen one, nor any ads in magazines. Interesting! Wires listed above is correct as far as being the same as my Mallory; the blue wire, dunno?

    I'll take a guess and say the blue wire is for an external shift light.

    Well, since they are still in business, if you don't get an answer here I'd suggest contacting them directly.
    https://www.medallionis.com/contact/

    The ABOUT page is absolutely jam packed with corpo-speak gibberish, but 3/4 of the way down the page is this
    HISTORY
    1967
    Medallion was established in 1967 and has operated continuously in the resort community of Spring Lake, Michigan.
    1986-2002
    Medallion was a subsidiary of publicly traded companies but returned to private ownership in 2003.

    Thanks for replying, I had found one for Sale on another post that had Led me to the H.A.M.B.in the 1st place have tried all over the web to find any information. Keep getting links to EBay where they are selling Marine Tachs mad by Medallion or the Chevy dealer installed Tachs or the ones used in Ford Torinos.They call those "Ribbon" Tachs. but the other Medallion tack are all Traditional Round & if they have 5 wires they don't match Colors coming out of this one.

    Who knows if they will help, or even if it's the same company. But it's worth a shot. The design points to mid century before transistors took over fully. The History is similar.

    Did find the ebay tach with the same wire colors
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/286844282208
    and the old post here about one that seems to confirm contacting the company is not useful.

    Another avenue is to try locating vintage collectors. You can try to find vintage instrument collector forums or maybe try reaching out to one of these

    Cool. Does it say something in that top recess on each side? And what is the area on top for? They lights in there?

    My bet is the white is illumination. Usually is. Green coil signal. Blue? Can you take it apart? May be easy to see where those leads are headed
