Temperature Control Gauge 200 1990

I might have a great deal on a 1990 244 DL with 150k+ (odometer doesn't work) non-turbo. Seller believes, but didn't formally have evaluated, bad headgasket. He says doesn't need oil replacement every day, but seems to overheat on hot days when stuck in traffic. He drove this car every day to work for 8 months without problems starting/running as long as engine had ventilation.

I think it's a bad thermostat, radiator, or that Temperature Control Board. I looked and looked for photos of the #1-#3 solder fix. I found written instructions, but couldn't find photos on a search of the bulletin board. Can anyone post or direct me to photos of the fix?

Also, if you think something else might be going on that I didnt' think about, please advise and let me know how to test for it. Thanks!
