Before deciding on rebuilding, I checked out the new one Moss is now selling.
The fitting for the backlight--and,
possibly, the bulb as well--is different, and some of the very small text on
the dial is missing, but otherwise it is a
decent aftermarket part. Moss has a tech paper on it, and a Moss rep went out
of his way to help me decide (and
encouraged me to get mine rebuilt).
It's an alternative. I think you can splice the existing wiring to the newer
light fixture.
