$350.00 - $450.00 if there are no cracks and the radio area hasn't been cut out.

The last one I actually saw sell went for $100.
Damn they've come down on prices. I've sold about three of them about 2 years ago ranging from $350.00-$450.00 and that's w/o light switch, wiper switch and heater control. No cracks, no cut bezel and in good shape.
Radio hasn't been cut out. Cluster looks really good actually and even the clear plastic looks great
It's a '71(?) but will confirm when I ask him. My main interest is primarily that it has a tach. Everything else is good
I would think for an ordinary one but this one has a tach in it
Just an FYI mine didn't have the tachs with the prices I got.
Wasn't able to call like Instrument Specialties but anyone have a ball park figure what it would cost to have the gauges gone through? Like I said, all the gauges looks good but I'd feel more confident if the gauges was looked at, calibrated, lubed, etc. I'm leaning towards getting it if the "price is right"
Seems those are more available than the ones with the tach.

As far I can tell that's not true... even wiper switch is diff, the opening remains the same...
Long time I dissasembled the 71 cluster I got, but I could fit either switch on it... 71 or 72/74.
Maybe if some diff could be JUST the small notch for the wiper switch key ? ( easy to make )

like has being said... if you get a working condition tach on cluster... could be on US$600 rate
The same with clock... maybe on $450 rate
Basic Rallye cluster on $300 rate
These are the last prices I have being watching... 5 years ago were cheaper. I got mine with clock in $200 around 7-8 years ago.
if tach doesn't work but you want to rebuilt the original one, is still nice try to get it. But if you are toward to get a repro one, find one with clock and forget the tach one. Repro tachs are on $250 rate, but they are 8 rpms, not 7k like originals.
150 ( 71 to mids 73 ) or 120 ( mids 73 and 74s ) speedo also makes difference on price, same as, of course, bezel conditions. 74 speedos got blue lenses for high beams pilot light. Earliers got horizonal notch for it... laters a vertical notch
AAAND knobs... which are harder and expensive to find, than the switches itself

if you want to change your one and don't close a deal with that guy, you can also try to get any other on ebay used, with untouched housing, all small gauges ( gas/oil, temp and ammeter ), and the lenses mask, and built your own cluster with your speedo, bezel and a repro tach
The housings are different from a tach/clock to one that has neither, right? I think you can modify the back to make a tach/clock work.
