I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

The odometer on the other had is mechanically coupled to the shaft. If the odometer is turning then I would say the grease in the needle bearings has turned to wax and is keeping it from turning. Either take it to a speedo shop or if your feeling adventurous you can open the case and try to free up the bearings.
