I've got a few spare parts about if anyone in interested:

The following are available for a fair price - reasonable offers welcome:

-- 1990 Instrument Cluster - Speedometer(110K)/Analog Clock version. Nice
condition, works fine, switches/light bulbs not included (had to use them in
a new cluster I bought) - I wanted to add a tachometer. For reference, this
item used from a "VW Recycler" in NH would cost $75 (unless they think
you'll pay more for it).
-- 4 195/75R14C Uniroyal Laredo tires, < 5K miles - bought these from a list
member who upgraded to 15". I experienced vibration problems a few weeks
after putting them on. Bought a set of Michelin MXT's - the vibration was
still there - turned out to be coincidence - the driveshaft was bad. So the
tires are fine and in great shape - I just don't need them and would like to
reclaim the space they are occupying. For reference, you could get them new
@ BJ's Tire Center for $49 each.

The following are available for the cost of USPS shipping - or free if you
live nearby. I didn't want to just toss them if someone could make use of
them:

-- Heidelberg Cassette Stereo -  PO had somehow broken faceplate
attachments, so it worked fine as long as you properly plugged in the
faceplate and held it in place. Fixable by some creative, industrious soul
who wants to have an all-original VW.
-- 4 Stock 4" Speakers - Acoustically not the greatest, but they work and
they're free.
-- Custom Made kick-panel for Weekender (full-width) rear seat w/ 6x9
speaker cutouts (speakers to clear beneath cross-bar) and rear heater
outlet. 1" clear pine painted black. Fits my '90 base model perfectly and
looks like a stock part upon casual inspection.
-- 4 195/75R14 Michelin LTX tires, mileage unknown. Tires are sound and have
a reasonable amount of tread left - enough to pass inspection for sure, but
not for wintertime use. I could measure the depth if you are interested.
