[Tigers] Speedometer

[awtiger]

Same problem here, Jim.  I think Tom has hit the nail on the head; over time 
and heat, the needle tends to stick to the stop on the face of the speedo. 
Mine's so bad that I can't get it unstuck with just a rap on the glass or 
something like that.  One clue to look for is if your odometer is still 
working, then the cable is good and it's your needle that's stuck.
