I also have worn out plastic gears in both speedos, but rather than spending over a hundred dollars for a new one, I'm going to be sending out the best speedo I have to Tom Garris (TBONE1964) for him to repair the odometer. My speedo works great without the odometer, so it makes sense to have Tom repair the odometer for a much better price than buying a new one. Also, I'm a "broke college student" so I try to be frugal when I can

That's the current plan! Continue to drive her until parts start falling off, then I'll start the rust repair
