Pay special attention to the capillary and the sender...not exactly sure these are repairable any longer.

Sorry for duplicate ad, there are a couple of outfits that can repair and calibrate these units

I own a few of these gauges, both the larger as shown above, that replaces the clock in the 912-911 and the smaller that replaces the 356 clock or to the left of the ignition on the pre '69 912-911 cars. They both operate using the same mechanical format.
The main issue relates to the capillary or sending unit. It is a Mercury based devise similar to the traditional home thermometer that many of us use on a daily basis.
If the capillary and or the cable connecting the capillary to the gauge is damaged, the gauge will not function. I have been told; Due to current environmental regulations the Mercury capillary and or cable cannot be repaired or replaced.
The solution is to send the entire unit to a shop such as Hollywood Speedo or Palo Alto or the EU equivalent and have them convert/replace the capillary and cable to a digital format. This will also require the gauge to be converted to the digital format as well. The dial will remain the same as the original.
The prudent move would be to verify the operation of an existing unit plus anticipate the cost of conversion to a digital format.
As with most things related to this hobby, it is not a cheap process.

About 2-3 years ago Palo Alto still offered the service to repair these kind of gauges (not digital, but w/ the dirty stuff). Did you check recently and is this what they told you that it's not possible any more?

I will check my spare gauges, I am pretty sure I still have such a gauge among my stuff. It needs similar repair as above though.
