Speedometer Repair (was Re: IML: 64 speedo)

[Ken Miller <kdmiller44@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

May I share something I found years ago troubleshooting an intermittent 
speedometer.  It was on my brother's 59.  Sometimes it worked just fine 
and sometimes it didn't.

The 59 has the rotating drum indicator (I think they used this design 
through 66 if my faltering memory serves me).  It turned out that the 
paper-like wrap that goes around the drum had come unglued on one 
corner.  It was just enough to keep the drum from rotating some of the 
time.  I simply glued the paper down and there was no more trouble.

To fix this you must remove and partially disassemble the speedometer.  
Removing it is always the challenge - disassembling it is not.
