I think they are pretty close.One problem is finding a decent dash.They are pricey.My kid sold his for 700 and it was like new.That and the dash uses a power pak for the lights.It kicks voltage up to 110.Rocky

Nice, thanks for the input guys........ I found an after market power pack for cheap that is much more reliable than the OG ones 
Any other input? Has anyone ever done this before with minimal issues?
I think it was in a Charger, but a member poted pics of his restored/updated(?) electroluminescent cluster a few months ago. Try a search as it may turn up the post.

The dashes thenselves arent a problem.The power pack is the biggest thing to go.My kids 62 300 still works like new.The needles will fade also and not really glow like they should.
The Charger we had to replace the PP.I bought 2 NOS ones that were at dealers about 10 years ago.I still have one as a spare.Rocky

230v. Don't zap yourself. Use a Charger harness,,, the powerpak can be modernized/updated,,grounds need to be good,, worst part is the needles ,, they can be all redone now.
Pretty decent system, I've found...

LOL....I work around electricity for a living so I will be careful!
I have found a new aftermarket power pack so I will go with one of those.
Looks like my Coronet is getting an Electro Luminance gauge cluster!
