<VV> speedo problem

[Harry Yarnell]

The cable's dry; about to fail. What happens is the cable seizes, then lets 
go. the upper part of the cable that had stopped turning, suddenly whips 
into action and slings the speedometer off the high end.
Could also be an input bearing in the speedometer wanting to seize up.
