Had a gague cluster in an 86 F150 that did the same thing. Ended up taking the tach out and spraying the back side with an electronics contact cleaner/lubricant. Don't use WD-40, it is too "watery" and gums up over time. I used a lube that I got at my local Air conditioning supply house (I am an A/C contractor by trade). Good luck.
