Before you pull speedo check that the cable is turning. I found speedo gear in trans badly worn.

There's a real good place here in the Twin Cities: APT Instruments, on 96th and Humboldt in Bloomington. http://www.gaugeguys.com/ I've had them restore several gauges, including a motorcycle combination speedo/tach cluster - I brought them a brown paper bag half full of parts, and when they were done it looked like an NOS piece.

Stuart, Thanks for this info this should solve the problem
I told my friend to check with the guy working on the 57
if he checked the speedometer gear as posted earlier
now with your post about APT in Bloomington this will
the next step

as of today i was told there getting a speedometer from
Goose Lake if that works he can send the original unit
to APT

Thanks for the help
