Can I repair the speedo head myself or does it need to be sent out? If sent out, to where, who repairs speedometers?

Bill | | | | | Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 52 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2014 Posts: 52 | I sent my speedometer from my 61 Apache out to get a quote on how much to repair it. The quote was $300.00 , which may be a good price but I am not prepared to pay that much. My truck is not going to be stock or a show truck, more like a rat rod. Does anyone have other options for me that will not cost an arm and a leg and that will give me an accurate reading of my speed?
