ruined instrument cluster?

while working on my instrument cluster with the oil, fuel and temp I burned 2 tracks that I can see. Are these boards repairable or do I have to buy another? 1984D

Cluster

Are you referring to the grounds / tracks?

I somehow shorted out the ground track to the oil pressure gauge and it was dead. The tach and clock, although working, were no longer accurate. Somehow, I did this taking out and installing the cluster back into the dash.

I took a wire from behind the cluster (metal area) by the clock and grounded it to the car. Everything came back to life again. Had to be some type of ground track I messed up!
