SMITH and VDO both work, with the corresponding clockset, if you change from SMITH to VDO or vice versa, you also need the speedo-cable of the new clockset.

so if you find a rev counter in a VDO clockset and get a VDO speedocable to match, it all bolts in and works instantly.

same story with the SMITH revcounter, though those are harder to get.
