I think I have one you can have. I live just east of you.
Let me check tonight and I'll let you know.

I thought I could modify a speedometer myself. That went really bad HAHA

PS: i replaced the cone-shaped plastic cover with a flat glas cover from my old 914 speedo. simply drilled a hole for the trip-o-meter reset button ...

What type: 120mph, 150mph with silver button, 150mph with black center?

I know I have one or two.

At the risk of getting slapped upside the head - are you sure it is dead? Seems to be more common that the angle drive fails.

My speedo works, but its erratic, odo doesn't work. Its a 150 type speedo. Would prefer to speedo to work reliably, with odo for insurance reasons. Will check out the 944 option. Does the 944 need calibration?
