Alan,
I did send a detailed letter both times to Margaret, describing the problems
with the speedometer.
I also provided her with the measurements for calibrating the speedometer
that she requested.
She ran the speedometer 12 miles the last time to test the odometer. I was
surprised she didn't notice the far left digit wheel turning.
I just consider it a $175 bad investment.

Ron -
I've found with Margaret that if you are very specific about the problems
(i.e. write them down) that she won't let it go out of her shop until it's
perfect. I had a very difficult BN1 speedo calibration problem and she was
the only shop (sent it to three other shops) that was able to fix it
properly.
I wonder if the problem is she didn't know to look at this issue with your
OD or the calibration? Usually problems with the OD are hard to notice
because shops don't want to run your OD too much and run up the miles.

I sent my speedometer to Moma for repair a few years ago as the odometer
was
not working. Moma refurbished the entire speedometer, sent it back, and
the
odometer was still not working. Nor was the speedometer calibrated
correctly. I called Margaret Lucas and she instructed me to return the
speedometer to her. I had to pay the shipping cost. Moma returned the
speedometer with an operable odometer. The speedometer is still of 10
percent and the far left digit wheel of the odometer (10,000) turned
constantly with the tenth of a mile digit wheel. After two chances to
make
it right, I saw no point in paying the shipping cost to return it again.
So
now I just live with the defects.
