sounds like a bad earth then, run a new earth wire to the body from the earth on the cluster, failing that the terminals in the cluster prob need a clean up with some emery and a spray with wd40 after.

Will be earths, classic disco lights as it's old RST all that should need doing is the earth connections cleaning as they will have corroded.
