T3: Speedo Noise


Yikes!!  My speedo was making so much noise this morning
I was afraid it was going to set fire from friction!

At higher speed, it was like a howling noise.  If I got 
above 50MPH it would start, and continue making noise even
if I slowed down.  So I stopped and undid the cable. 
The speedo was working, as was the odometer, but it 
was making noise.  This is a VDO speedo of course, probably
not the original one in a '66 squareback.

I know there were a few messages about this problem. 
What should I expect it to be?  I have a feeling it is 
not the cable.  I might go and pull it and take it apart
on my lunch hour.  

What kind of lubricating oil is best for this kind of 
device?  I have a feeling that it's something like that.

Eternity is a terrible thought.  I mean, where's it going to end?  --
