sluggish speedo


List,
An oddity:  during my first few drives on my newly road worthy 73 sq, the
odometer worked like a champ, but the speedo did not do a thing.  I
figured that it was definately an internal problem in the speedo.  Then
the weirdness happened.  During a longish drive (5miles or so...baby
steps) and at a higher speed, the speedo did respond by slowly indicating
speed.  By slowly, I mean that from the stop light and through 2nd gear or
so, there was no response from the speedo, but as speeds climbed to 30 mph
and above, the needle started to climb slowly to register about 35 max
(this was when I was travelling 50 mph plus).  It would also fall back to
0 mph only after sitting still for a minute or so.   Is there a simple
lubricating point in the speedo?  Or does the thing need to be
disassembled, cleaned, and relubricated?  I do wish that I had paid more
attention to the speedo thread from a few months back, and I apologize for
rehashing this discussion.  

Thanks,
Bryan
