Mechanical Speedo Power Source 200 1985

Hey xDread92x,

Without being able to see your pics, I can safely guess the burned foil is what you need to repair.

Repairing an open foil on a circuit board is a generic process not at all specific to 240 instrument panels. Surely there are some *you tubes?

Take a look at the repair photos here, using wire to replace missing foil that was chemically eroded instead of burned -- you'll get the idea of what you need to accomplish. If it looks too difficult, you might have an easier time finding a used cluster to start over with.

In this forum, if you reply to yourself, only you get the email. Read some other threads, you'll get the hang of the forum and how to post photos.

*Edit: I looked for some youtubes. There are some silly videos out there for sure - a lot of time-wasters. People trying to use "conductive paint" to fix broken foils! Anyhow, this guy is doing it right, and not too tedious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTnVg6Pmf-U
