There isn't much electrical bits in the speedos. They are 99% mechanical. A good instrument repairer should be able to fix it good as new.

I think what happens is when you try to zero the trip meter while the car is moving it strips a gear in the speedo. I always make sure that I only ever reset it when stationary.
They are repairable as far as I know.
Absinth knows a lot about them, ask him.
Any input Absinth??
The speedo is completely mechanical if you don't count the two bulbs for the high beam and indicator lights.
They are repairable if you have spare parts, I have done three so far.

Yeah they are repairable, mine was the same. I repaired it with parts from from another speedo. Not to difficult if you are patient.
