Telltale Panel

[peter brandt]

Ken,

I don't know how bad yours is, I repaired a broken printed circuit on my
telltale panel using a "rear window defogger repair kit", a Loctite product
(NAPA 765-1460)

Good Luck

Ken,

I haven't had my telltale panel out in a while, but I don't remember it
being very complicated. If you can't locate a used replacement, couldn't
you solder jumpers to the board to bypass the bad traces? If it's too far
gone for that, pick up a "breadboard" project circuit board from Radio Shack
and build a replacement. You'll need a work around for the edge connector.

OTOH, does anyone on the list have access to "one off" circuit board
printing capability?
