Odometer/Tripmeter Stopped Working

Whats up guys,

Odometer and Tripmeter crapped out on my 750RJ this week. Looking at some of the threads here concerning this issue it seems that a full replacement is more advisable than a repair as the little bitty gears makes it a kind of pain. Is this the general consensus?

Also, I'm having difficulty finding a replacement tripmeter or odo online and XJ4Ever doesn't carry it for my Seca. I'm debating on if I should just replace the Atari cluster for an upgrade but as a broke college student I'm not sure if its worth the money...

Anyways, repair or replace? And is there any alternatives worth looking intO?

 

After doing some continued searching found some big help!

This was eluding my search-fu for whatever reason. I'll play with this, see if I can fix it, or just go ahead and swap it with one on Ebay if I can find one.

 

thats the thread you need just labor, also notice the BOLD disclaimer. you are at the point of replacment unit or try to fix
