The gauge does not easily separate from the left group.  The needle
presumably is press fit to the shaft - but I quit pulling 'cause it
felt like I was at the safe limit and the needle didn't pull off.  So
to swap use a non-W123 in a W123 will involve some effort.

The left group is connected to the right group with soldered wires, so
if a few solder connections make you nervous, then you are probably
best off with the whole cluster.  The speedometer separates easily, so
if the replacement didn't have the one - or the right one - it wouldn't
be difficult to use the rest.

I haven't checked, but I suspect you could even put in a cluster with a
tach - though the tach wouldn't work without other effort.
