Is the speedo covered in Betley’s?

Here is a search you can watch on eBay with:

Howdy All!

So I've only been a very sporadic poster to the list over the years so I'll basically be a newb to everyone. But, here's a bit of backstory. Picked up my '60 Bugeye back in '89 in LA and refurbished it and am currently driving it. While I may not be as senior as a lot of folks on the list, I figure being 50 puts me in good company.  My car is pretty much stock except for the 1275 motor, ribcase trans, wheels, and a couple other small things. The latest item I want to tackle is that the odometer, and trip odometer, in the speedo do not advance as the car is driven, although the trip odo can be adjusted with the reset knob. I took the gauge apart and found that the gears for the ODOs are not meshing with the main worm gear. This doesn't appear to be too hard to fix, if I could find a source for repair parts. I guess my Googling skills are pretty poor. :o) Any tips/pointers on this repair and a source for parts?
