Here's an old thread with details on how to Repair your speedo, should you decide to go that route. The detailed instructions are courtesy of fellow Bolter "Jon G" in response to Bolter "Clem Donahue's" request for help.

Let us know what you figure out/decide to do. wink

I took Otto's advice and connected the speedo to a drive. It works. The shaft is not broken. It would seem that it cannot induce the field or something. I'll look at the link in a bit.
