Gauge cluster rebuilding services? (Odometer fix + beeping)

Hey guys,

I remember a while back there were a few people here that were doing some solder re-flowing and overall gauge cluster rebuilding.

I'm looking to send my cluster out to be rebuilt essentially.
Everything works minus the odometer display, and I get random short beeps at various low RPM.

Hoping and think it's just some old worn out connections or possibly a component here or there. I'm not confident trouble shooting the electronics, so I'd love to send it to someone that can.

Any contacts or hints about who can do this?

Thanks!

Any help is appreciated.

Looks like a couple folks here were hit and miss with getting this done.

Recommendations?

Zepco is one.

I used Hamps north of Atlanta. They fixed my cluster twice but I think my speedo or cluster had issues beyond their control. I am running a spare cluster now.

If I had to do it over again I'd go with Zepco. It will cost a little more but I get the feeling they have more experience with FD clusters.

I've used Zepco many times and recommended them to many FD owners over the years, they've always provided very good customer service and gotten cluster issues sorted out in my experience

Thanks a lot guys.
I'll give them a call.

I hoping the beeping is related to the gauge cluster.

Perhaps a short or something else strange going on with conditions that make the alert beeping noises happen. (Red line, coolant, seatbelt... Etc. )

I'll also remember to come back here to update progress to help anyone else with the same issues.

Sorry, no.
I have been quite lazy lately.
The car has been sitting in the garage.

I still need to call the folks previously mentioned and see about getting this done.
