Console gauges get foggy in humidity, especially cool humidity. Any solution other than sending to CA? Original glass lenses. Don’t have bezel tool. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Gauges are not sealed. A gauge rebuild isn’t going to prevent future condensation when temperatures and relative humidity encourage it.
Smoking was very common in the 70s and leaves behind a smoke film. Likewise repeated condensation and off-gassing from vinyl and plastics will leave a film. I have seen gauges with extreme cloudy film inside the glass that can only be cleaned by disassembling the gauge. Your pictures seem to look more like this to me than simple condensation. |
