I'm glad I could help. I was so happy that I didn't have to replace all my guages (you can't replace just one, it wouldn't look right) with VDOs.
The stock guages have gotten a bad reputation that I believe is undeserved. It's just that most people, instead of thinking a problem through, would rather replace things. These guages are simple devices and there physically isn't a lot that can go wrong with them. Ditto for the Pantera's electrical system in general. Much of its unreliable rep is from people using the wrong type of fuses (glass instead of ceramic) and the resulting failures.
A little knowledge and a lot of patience is what gets you through these problems.
