Refreshing Guage Cluster 69 442

Hello Fellow Oldsmobile Enthusiasts,
I am pulling my tic toc tac out for repair to the clock, but I was wondering if anyone had ever removed guage cluster and had it gone through for calibration, and also having the guage face redone.
My white lines have become a tired yellow color.
Also, My biggest fear of pulling the guage is removing harness at rear, as I know the pins are very delicate, and I don't want to ruin my guage cluster.
They all work fine, but, as I indicated, the guage face is tired.
Thanks for the replies!

Same place - D&M Restorations. You are right about the pins. Just be real careful pulling the harness off of the back of the gauge cluster. If by chance you do loosen or break off a pin or two, they can be fixed. Two of mine broke off and I just used a small screw through the back of the circuit board and into the pin, carefully snugging the pin back into the circuit board. That was in 2006 and it still works!
