Check for a leak in the vacuum tube?

I take it that all the other functions of both sets of clocks work.
There is an FAQ which indicates that this problem with the MFA is usually a defective speed sender, on the back of the clocks.
If you look at the FAQ for 'Changing Instrument console warning lamp' in the third picture down you will see the speed sender (in this case the yellow block - some are black) next to the connection for the speedo cable.
