I recently installed a NOS Mk3 Spitfire speedometer. For the first 24 miles, it worked like a champ. Steady and smooth, with absolutely no needle bounce. Then, failure. I blamed the broken angle drive, but after installing a second angle drive and then discovering that the speedo itself is siezed tight where the cable enters, I'm wondering... Is this just something that happens with these old instruments that have been sitting on shelf for three decades? Obviously a disappointment. Is this thing toast now or repairable? Anyone else run into something like this before?
