MG MGA - Sluggish Electric Tachometer

I had some stalling issues with my 1500 and replaced points, condenser and coil. Electric tach now seems to be sluggish, meaning that when I accelerate, the tach does not keep up with what the revs really are, and, when I let off the accelerator and the engine slows down quickly, the tach drops slowly. I have replaced the wire loop on the back of the tach, tried a bigger loop, tried a smaller loop, no change.
Any ideas?

Sounds like it needs a drop of oil on the needle spindle.
