Mine had the same problem.  If you're lucky, it is
just the pin (around which the #s roll) came out of
the end hole.  If the odo #s look as though they have
fallen back & down a bit, that is your problem.  This
you can fix by pushing the pin in from the other end.
I did a temp fix that lasted about 2 years by
super-glueing a stopper (no glue on the pin please) on
the end of the pin hole so that it could not come out.

After 2 years and lot of fiddling it finally broke
beyond my ability.  So I sent it to
http://www.speedometer.com/ and for $70(US) plus
shipping both ways they fixed, calibrated and
generally R&R-ed it.  I have yet to recieve it back so
I can't tell you how/if it works.  They had a bit of
trouble calibrating a KPH speedo, but I think I got
them straightened out.  Malcolm
