Some people go the direct (and _most_ expensive) route by building the
hardware necessary to drive real aircraft instruments.  This involves
(typically) digital to synchro converters and 400Hz AC power supplies.

The other two methods involve rebuilding an instrument to be servo or
stepper driven or to create it from scratch, using the original as a
model.

Of course!  We're one big (mentally unbalanced) family here! :)
