Instrument cluster 83DT

I have an 83DT and recently tried to change the instrument cluster lights to LEDs which ended up being a nightmare. All of the instruments work but I need a new circuit board. I looked on line and can't find any place that works on Mercedes Benzes that old. Does anyone know of a good repair parts shop where I can get a new board?
Fastlane has the whole instrument cluster but I don't need the whole assembly.

Thanks,

PM vstech. I think he's said he's got a few salvaged clusters.

No sure what circuit board you are talking about. The cluster comes out in 3 pieces. There are circuit boards on both sides of the speedometer assy. that control the gauges and lighting.

If it is really bad you can just go to the classified area and find a salvage, complete cluster. Lots of people on here that would be willing to help. Just be sure whatever you get (especially the speedo), matches the rear end gearing.

If you are trying to improve the lighting, foil tape, cleaning the prism's and new bulbs make the cluster really bright.
