1993 190E Intrument Panel lights out

I just purchased a 1993 190E 2.6 with 89K miles. Just in time for a repair cycle.

All of the lights on the instrument panel and the backlight for the radio went out. I can see the radio station and all the gauges are functionaly. All fuses fine. Headlights, tail & tag lights, etc all work fine.

Should I expect this to be just a $5 bulb and an hour of service time or a full cluster replacement?

I had all the dash lights go out on my 87 190E 2.3 a while ago, found the power input into the back of the instrument cluster to have broken off. I just soldered it back on, good as new.
