Default Condensation in gauge

Does anyone know how condensation can be removed from inside a gauge? My hour meter has quite a build up. Thanks

    Maybe a little heat? Say from a hair dryer?

    The bigger issue will be finding out where the leaky seal is so it doesn't re-occur.

    I'm not sure if the hour gauge has a bulb socket on the back, but if it does, you can usually pull the bulb fitting out, thereby leaving an open hole at the back of the gauge, and you could let it dry for a day or so! Given this is if you have access to the back of the gauges! If not, it might be pretty difficult.

    One thing you might consider, contact Faria directly and see what kind of suggestions they offer!
