Hmmmm, can this also cause the small odometer (the 4-digit guy with
tenths, resettable) to stop working, while the big odometer (the
6-digit one, no tenths, not resettable) keeps working just fine?

The V6anagon has been this way since I got it. Haven't done much
with it, since it doesn't stop the car and I've always had visions
of little springs and gears scattering all over my bench when I
opened the speedo-- a fear born of ignorance in my case, but still
very real.

Anyone know offhand what might cause schizoid speedo behavior like this
(the speedo itself works fine)?
