Thank you for your replies. I have solved this repair by using a spare lighting array panel that lights up every rod, quite by my surprize. The cluster is together for my '63 Crown's instrument panel complete w/rubber vibration dampeners installed correctly, thanks to the help from the list members, yet again. It was good to see it all light up like a neon sign, soon to have a fully working capacitor for power pack this week. Emitting radiation as the factory proscribed, thanks again.
