All done except for making leads and installing speaker output ports on the Tacho signal box, to hold the meter alligator clips. I will now go in search of some stuffed gauges to learn how to repair them and for spares. It is interesting to note that the tacho is spot on 150 Hertz at 3000 rpm.

G'day all. If anyone has an old gauge cluster or gauges that are faulty, I am willing to work on them, gratis at the moment, but you will have to pay the postage and parts.

Craig I am working on an issue with my speedo not working and am trouble shooting the problem from the gearbox back... it may comr to the point that I will need the clocks tested.
No worries, BA. It is easy to test the sender by spinning it by hand, or using a battery drill on the drive. You can get someone to test the voltage at the back of the speedo while you are testing the sender. Are you able to get someone's spare speedo if needed?
Ok Craig I checked the worm drive in the gearbox and I have replaced the sensor as that was seized but still no joy so I pulled the clocks out and plugged in my old set and ta daa !!!
Now the clocks I plugged in I have sold so I cannot use them for parts, what would be the next step???
At least I know the problem and now its a matter of fixing them.
Update... I have sorted it, there are 4 screws holding the speedo in place and one was missing and one was not factory and looked to not be touching the ribbon so I took 2 out of the clocks I have sold and will replace later.
I have not gone for a drive as yet but with the power drill all was good.
It is really easy to take the speedo module out of the cluster. Check ALL of the solder joints. If there is no problem, then there was a cluster for sale, on this forum, earlier this year.
Or if there is a kind-hearted member, maybe you could get a loan of a cluster. Send the stuffed cluster to me. I will have a go a repairing them.
As a matter of interest, how much did you flog your other set for BA?
The problem is at the moment, is I only have a TB42E cluster in really good order, as a spare and I am using it as a a reference.
