The cluster is out, you won't believe what I found
thanks for the good info. I tried to solder the pins back, but the pin will not take the solder. so I removed the pins and soldered some telephone wires to each contact. now connecting the telephone wires to the plug, that will take some thought. maybe I can thread the telephone wire through the old pin, crimp it at the base and then just plug it into the existing plug. humm....
