My original gauges are scrap. They are rusted internally, and the paint is peeling off the faces - obviously the car sat out in the rain for an extended period.

Restoring my gauges runs $100-200 each, depending on condition, and new gauges are $100 each. I could go for used gauges which seem to go for about $40 each, and hope they are not abused, or I could buy this set of four repops for $40 including shipping.

So for the price of one used gauge I can get four new gauges. Yeah, I have options, but new gauges for $40, well. I could not pass it up. Even if they are junk, I can always go used without feeling too bad.
