Default 79 printed circuit board speedometer and tachometer source

Going in to try and fix wiper switch...
working on gremlins in tachometer here
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-question.html
And figured i would change out the pcb while there...
has anyone bought one recently or recommend or experience a good quality source? Or are they all the same.

if visually the old one looks good would you still replace it? It looks like the tough part is to not break the tach pins and to push them out from inside...
all lights work..just tach issues

thanks

Ordered mine at Willcox (tach board and printed circuit) and they work very well. No more 7000 rpm at idle

eBay, I got both the speedo/tach and center cluster for like 1/2 what the big stores cost. They seem
to work fine.
