Temp and fuel gauges no bueno

So I was able to score an entire gauge cluster off ebay. Two chances to get a single good gauge. Pulled the temp and fuel gauges. Looked at the temp gauge first... that thing is crispy, and the filament is broken. Pulled the fuel gauge apart and it looks nice and clean, and the filament is intact. I hooked it up to my test bench and it responded, but only moved about 1/8 of the gauge. I then saw the tangs that hold the needle were spread. I removed the needle, tightened them up, and installed the freshly painted needle from the old temp gauge. Hooked it up, and I have a full sweep on the gauge! So I will be reinstalling this evening and crossing my fingers that no other problems exist!
