The in car cluster had a non working clock also. The cluster was removed and taken to North Hollywood Speedometer. The working clock from the replacement cluster was removed and switched out for the dead one.
The decision was made to rebuild the original speedometer which included a new electronic receiving head and the replacement of the gears. This kept the correct mileage on the odometer. The cost to reset the reset the newer odometer was as much as rebuilding the original head. The plastic was cleaned and dust removed. The cluster was bench tested and everything works fine.

Kevin at North Hollywood Speedometer did the repair overnight. The car drove without any issue with the cluster removed.

The R and R of the cluster was done with out any issue and took only minutes. Sometimes it pays to let experienced people do some things. So now I have a spare cluster out of the car with good Gauges, Tach, Speedometer , Odometer with 98K showing .

Thanks to you all for your advice.
