My speedometer started making a loud squealing noise.  It did continue to 
work, though.  I disconnected the cable so I wouldn't have to listen to the 
noise any more, which was driving me nuts.

A friend of mine with a '65 bus got his speedo re-built by a guy here in 
Denver, for $100.  I'm considering going this route.  It's a lot more 
expensive than getting a used one (I found a couple of them for $15), but 
who knows how long a used one would last?

What do you think?

I think they should be the same, but what is wrong with your old one? I have
good used ones and can fix some problems in the originals.
