Hi Jeff,
This is very common with NOS speedos - the grease in the instrument
solidifies with age, causing the instrument to jam shortly after it starts to
work for a living.

I would have thought it rebuildable, but I don't know what components
specifically fail when this happens. I'v not got involved with instrument
rebuilding yet.....
Cheers,
Bill.
