Default Speedo Fade

For awhile there I was driving my 86 about 800mi's a week. Apparently where I was parking it. the sun was shining on the speedometer fading it out. Know the only digit i can see is when the hundred digit comes up and on the graph, once it gets to 75.
I seem to remember reading something about this awhile back, but have no idea where....

Below is a link to a question I posted last week. Sounds simmilar to my problem - sun destroyed the LCD.

As stated in the post below I found the LCD panels on E-bay by searching E-bay for "Corvette LCD". I don't see any listed right now but there is a seller running auctions all the time.

Here is the post:

Try 'Corvette C4 digital dash instrument cluster'

Or just 'Corvette instrument'

One auction appears for rebuilt 84-89 clusters.
