Dennis,
There is a company by the name of Specmo (specmo.com I believe), that was
started by a friend of the family who had came over from Germany. They
specialize in instrument repair of cars and ate vdo certified ad well as GM
and likely countless others here in Michigan. Look them up -- I'm sure they
can help. Don't know current pricing, though.

it), in that it will keep clicking off miles on the odometer (so I know the
cable is intact and spinning) but the needle wont register speed. Stays on
the peg, and then out of the blue will spring to life and work for the rest
of the trip. When it started, I took it to Denver Speedometer, a place I had
used in the past, and the guy just sort of blew me off and summarily said
"$300 to rebuild it", and then asked to see it. He took a small screwdriver,
stuck it in the back and turned it. The needle bounced and he handed back to
me said "its fine, there's nothing wrong with it". He said the needle is run
by a magnetic pick up, and not a possible electrical impulse or any other
"usual" suspect. The problem seems worse when its hot.
