It's normally down to 3 capacitors on the instrument panel, if you can solder its a few $$ for the parts or some companies offer a repair service like BBA Reman.com

Here are the boards and part locations.

The picture is courtesy of Jim Walker who is based in California and does the repairs.



Or you could buy a kit like on the link below and get a local radio shop to fit the parts

I used BBAREMAN through Ebay for $80.00 total. They went through all known issues, including dimmed needles which they made like new also. I can't say enough compliments about them. They also gave me a lifetime warranty, and had it back to me within 5 business days.
