1992 VX Hatchback Tach issue

SO, I noticed this morning, my tachometer was dipping randomly as I was going to work.

It would stay steadier at around 2-3k rpm, but any higher, the dips would be a little more dramatic, like around 4k it dips to 1.5 for about a second before evening out.

It's the stock tachometer, for what it's worth, lil car has about 149k miles on it to.

Just looking for a possible fix, hopefully not an expensive one!

Does the motor RPM actually drop or just the needle drops?

Just the needle, didn't feel any drop in power. I'd be more worried about the engine or transmission if I felt that
