    The speedo on my 1977 t140 v was extremely erratic then just quit but the odometer is working.
    Any suggestions?

    Try the cable sometimes they just snap especially if it has sat and dried up. Take it of at the clock and draw out the centre drive cable and check if it has snapped.

    Yes it may just have chewed the end a bit. But yes it strange it works only one bit. When the clocks are built the needle is lightly sprung and has I little stopper or pin it sits against make sure it hasn't snapped that pin and lost it spring. But do check this as I may be wrong here.
    Regards
    Joe.
