[QUOTE="red69, post: 121831, member: 9052"] Thanks to bc17a, I was able to see how the speedo could be disassembled. Thanks for the pictures. I didn't have to disassemble the odometer wheel because it's in fairly good shape. I was able to remove the retaining clip, but I didn't want to force the wheels in order to reset the reading. I chickened out and presently have my drill doing the reverse hula. One funny thing that happened was when I pried off the pointer and I wasn't ready for it to shoot up and land somewhere amongst my RC planes. Luckily, I was able to locate it without much trouble. I had to make a new red light indicator by hand from clear plastic, since I do not have a lathe. I painted the rear using red epoxy paint. The rubber boot inside the housing on the bulb tube was shot but there was another one inside on a tube that is not used and it was swapped to the tube in use. I haven't reassembled it yet as I am waiting for the odometer to zero out. One of the pictures shows the new overlay with the bezel and glass on top.
