Bench Magic
My local mechanic had the interest to take my cluster apart and re-solder the Tach connections. Worked well for about a year, but has started bouncing around again; Usually when it is cold and damp.
Bench Magic in Langley/Surrey B.C. has worked on FD clusters before. I plan to take some to them shortly to get assessed.
One concern is always of breaking trim plastics when pulling the cluster. Therefore I am living with my bouncey tach and relying on the Power FC controller read-out instead. Until I accumulate enough spare trim plastics.
