760 Temp Gauge and my Second Mortgage 700 1990

I probably should post this "update" on the 900 board, because my 760 dash differs from the 740's. but ...

Due to my schedule constraints and my wife's inability to drive without a horn, I took my (her?) 90 760 to my trusted (really!) mechanic for a multitude of what I thought were faulty ground related problems - intermittant fuel gauge, no switch backlighting, intermittant radio and amp - AND a temp gauge that at best registered only about 1/16 inch off cold. I had checked coolant temp at 180 and the sender was good, but got no further. Their verdict was a faulty gauge, OEM at $190, and available in 2 days. So I bit the bullet, then my wallet, applied for a second mortgage and told them to proceed. For those of you who have read this far, my questions are:

Are there any aftermarket sources for this gauge, has anyone repaired one of these gems, and (since my EBay manual hasn't arrived yet) how difficult is it to attack, I mean, pull the instrument cluster on this brick? Thanks.
