My newly restored TR6 is suffering from very poor illumination of
the instruments. I have a feeling I will have to hold a flashlight for
night driving.
One problem appears to be that not all the lights work - something I will
sort out. However, perhaps a more major concern is that the rheostat that
controls the dimness is not functioning. If I turn/twist the rheostat
knob there is no variance in brightness/dimness. The only control the
rheostat seems to have is to make the lights come on in one or two points
throughout the turn/twist. Also, when I remove the rheostat knob, the
metal shaft of the rheostat is quite warm.
Any advice, other than new flashlight batteries?
