Old Guy Too Many Bikes

Went for my usual weekly ride today on my '82 CT70 and my speedo wacked out. Up to about 30 mph it's fine, but as soon as I got faster the needle got very optimistic. At about 35, it was reading about 45 and at I'd guess 45 it went past the odometer and almost back around to the zero stop. When I'd slow down and stop, it went back to zero. At 40-45, it also bounced around a little. The bike's got almost 7000 original miles. The odometer is still correct and the cable isn't binding or anything. Is it worth taking apart and trying to fix? Anyone have a similar experience. The '82 has the small round speedo.
