Check out this....beautiful gauge cluster.
Uh...well...gauge cluster.
These are the other bits that go into it and show under the dome.
These are special gauges. They aren't lit up by bulbs-it's actually bunch of layers:
One layer of vitreous enamel coated steel is the gauge base.
One layer of solid ceramics is applied over that.
One layer containing electroluminescent phosphorus in ceramic base.
One transparent electrically conductive layer applied over that.
Last a layer of glassy coating is added for the final touch.
It's fed by a high voltage doohickey under the dash that has surprised a few mechanics in an unpleasant manner.
The whole thing glows. Even the pointers.
Only a few places exist that can rebuild them. I sent 'em off.
