Exercising patients and you will find the good used parts you need. The parts board here on this forum is the best place to find/locate the parts you need.

To add to what leddzepp said, once you take an NOS part out of its original wrapping and actually use it, the value goes down as well. It is only NOS if it has never been installed and used.

The nice thing about NOS parts from my perspective (especially gauges) is you know they will fit and work correctly. They may have some shelf wear ut the overall function and condition of the part will be true to form. Beware of NOS deals to good to be true on ebay. There are a lot of cheaters out there.
