[alfa] re: Speedo Problems

Robert,
There may be a hairline fracture in the flexible circuit. This is tough 
to track down;  an experienced electronics technician can trace down 
the faults with an ohmmeter. I had two fractures, which caused both the 
tach and cluster lamps to quit. One fault was at a fold in the flexible 
circuit - the other was in the middle of a long flat run. I bridged the 
faults with slivers of stranded wire, and very quick soldering 
technique; the flexible circuit melts very easily.
