Instrument cluster for 87-90 Ninety Eight Touring Sedan

Looking for the instrument cluster (tach, speedo,etc.) for the first model Ninety Eight Touring Sedan. My digital dash has been sketchy lately and I would love to replace is with the ANALOGUE gauges and 120mph speedometer. I will consider any that work; my Regency Brougham has just over 100,000 on it so it would be a bonus to get anywhere close to that mileage.

Thank you for your consideration and assistance.

If you are going to be replacing your gauges; first, you might consider inspecting the gauge circuit board for damage. I've seen cold solders on surface mount resistors in domestic cars from this era. Usually a cold solder is easy to identify and not difficult to repair with a soldering iron, some solder and some flux paste. Of course, if you just want to go to analog gauges that is understandable too. Check it out!

I live in Michigan and I have not been able to find any in the yards close to me. Now if you would be willing to do a field trip I am sure that we could work something out. Thanks either way.

The dash has been stable lately, it does "flash" every now and again. I will take a look, but I'm hoping to go the analog route if possible. Thanks.

Wow! That's a lot to sort through. I had the same experience; with all of the donors to check out I thought for sure that I'd find something. Nada. Thank you for the effort!
