Louis,
I put my CB in the freezer to confirm the hot & cold function/not function. All this told me was that there was a circuit problem.
There are two main solder points on each gauge and these were cracked and easy to see. Resoldered and they worked.
Shocki had a thread on the fix. Worked on his oil pressure gauge and also mine.
My original CB was toast so I renewed it. They were NLA but I checked recently and they have some in Germany.

The CBs are in the freezer now and I'll try it in the morning. I have inquiries out to several of the shops that advertise VDO instrument repair and I'll see if anything turns up there. I do think the greatest likelihood of the problem is a bad solder joint since no other problem exists as it would if a chip was bad. Trouble is, there are hundreds of them. It makes sense to go after the joints that have some mechanical stress component to them and that's where I'll begin.
