They go across eBay pretty often. Ones with a tach run pretty high, a tach
and working quartz clock even higher.

I have 3 of the quartz clock, full gauge (minus tach). I can't find one on
ebay though I may be typing the search keywords in wrong.

Another option, although a more expensive one, is to change all the
gauges to nice new aftermarket ones, like from Autometer.

I'm going to do something similar in my K5. There is a company (sorry,
can't remember the name or link) that pre-fabs the 73-91 dash panel to
accept Autometer gauges, but they want ridiculous money for it...like
$300 IIRC. WAY too much for a piece of plastic.

I've got a few extra dash panels and I'm going to experiment with
modding it to accept the gauges. The big differences is that the
gauges will be mounted to the panel itself and not a structure behind
it.

The only reason I suggest it is because the Autometer gauges are to me,
much easier to read, and you have many options on the "look" of your
dash.

Good luck,
