RE: Anyone have a '86-on Spider instrument cluster?

Have you thought about having a speedo shop repair yours?  Both Tach and
speedo in my 88 Spider need repair/replace and I'm planning on sending
them to Palo Alto Speedo (www.paspeedo.com).  Figure I'd rather speed a
few bucks and install instruments that will last instead of buying used
ones that I'll have no idea how long they will function.

FWIW,

I have an inoperative tachometer and a ammeter that does 
not function correctly.  The tach is intermittent but 
will occasionally work for a moment or two if you tap on 
the side of the console.  The ammeter reads low despite 
proper alternator output measured at the battery.  It 
rises off the peg when the igntion is turned on but 
stays at zero when the engine is running.  
 
The needles are free to move and the connections are all 
secure and clean.  I been trouble shooting and the 
problem seems to be in each instrument.
 
Anyone have a instrument cluster for an '86-on Spider 
that needs a new home?
 
Located in NC.
 
Please e-mail off-post.
 
Thanks!
