I just drove the car and enjoyed it. Early this year, all of a sudden, the tach started working. But now the speedo started to bounce around. What! That doesn't make any sense. There is nothing connected between them. I removed and cleaned the speedo cable but that didn't help. Maybe one of these days I'll try swapping in a different speedo from spares and see if that fixes it.Art:

The speedo is cable driven, and more than likely is that the lubrication in the cable has dried up, so the drive binds up and then suddenly releases.
Pop the cable off, and remove the wire from the sheath. Squirt a little gear oil in there and reinsert the wire.
If you wait too long, the cable will seize and the wire will break, necessitating a new cable.
