My "new" 1970 914 has a working speedo, but the odometer isn't working. The seller said it's most likely an internal gear that he's seen folks replace rather easily. Any experience out there on this one? Also, the trip odometer isn't working and the reset button seems not to exist. It's not under the dash.

Sounds like the only stoopid were the engineers that designed the system to fail with intended usage.

Actually not stupid at all, considering who was paying them. It's called planned obsolescence.
