repairing instrument cluster ? gauge face swap gone bad

anyone or know anyone who repairs clusters....?

i borked my tachometer somehow upon needle reinstallation...i opened the white servo on the backside of the board and reset the small worm gear with no positive effect...

before i spring $$$ for a virginized cluster from ebay or BPM, does any know if those servos can be replaced...? i see a few commercial outfits like the once mentioned above but their repair costs are nearly the same as an PnP ebay cluster...

any tips or direction would be most appreciated...

addendum:

cluster fixed...pics for clics

You might may just want to buy a cheap cluster off ebay for parts.

I know this is an old thread, but how hard was it to replace the motor? I assume I need to solder, I'm just afraid to break it more and I can't find much online for this.

Very tasteful upgrades to your M3 interior...some I also have done.

I like the km/hour speedo gauge face. 330 kph!!! Autobahn numbers.

Cheers
