Speedo (recently restored) working sporadically Options

[DC_neun_vierzehn]

I recently had my speedometer gauge restored - the speedometer worked fine, but the odometer and trip odometer never worked since I purchased the car in 2020. I installed the restored speedometer several months ago. Shortly after, I noticed the speedo not working one day. But after a few miles and it started working again.

This would continue on and off, here and there, but now it's to the point where the speedo doesn't work when I pull out of the garage, but it will start working after I've been driving it for 15-20 mins. It's like it needs to warm up before it will start working. Note: the odometer and trip odometer both work fine when the speed is not working. The odometer and trip odometer have zero issues.

Does that mean that the speedo cable is fine and that the issue is the speedo gauge itself? Or can the odometers work and the speedo not work and it can still be a cable issue?

Note that the bouncing is not the same issue as the original one in this thread. Bouncing can be caused by problems with the cable, angle drive, etc. Having the speedo stop reading while the odometers are still counting up means there is a problem inside the gauge housing.
