Update: I cleaned up all the screws and the connectors at the back of the flexy board and I bent the tabs outward to make better connection with the harness connectors. I reconnected the cluster, started the engine and all three small gauges fuel, oil and coolant temperature work fine. Then I connected a wire to the +12 screw of the tacho and connected the other end to B+ but no luck, the tacho needs servicing. If anyone has a spare tacho, just so I can check the signal is ok, I will return it in the same condition. Would really appreciate it. Attached are few picture of the working gauges and the
back connectors.

I think I am going to try repair odometer, speedo and tacho circuit board, I found a very good blog post how to do it and I am not lacking soldering skills:

All the above are untested and some have corroded flexi-boards or burned out odometers. I am curious how many complete working units can come from this collection.

Update: Nine gets you Seven
Sent the collection to one of the specialists named above. He was able to recover seven fully functioning units out of the nine, plus a collection of working gauges from the remaining two that could not be fully rebuiilt.
This is a terrific result and very encouraging for anyone thinking of fixing a "dead" cluster.
Stay tuned.

I'm kind-of late to this party but I had the same problem. Most importantly the odometer (~45k) was broke and I nearly had a heart attack. Found an article about replacing the caps (same thing happens with TVs Stereos, etc). After doing that the cluster came back to life.
