Mike - Don't forget the THIRD!  My brother (one of those weird
electronics engineers - works in mm radar & guidance systems in "black
projects") suggested not wasting money on speedo repair/replacement via
switching to a GPS on the dash!  In addition to being cheaper and the
most accurate speedo available, it'll even let you know where you've
been, where you are and, possibly, predict where you are going.  Even
stores miles covered!  He's predicting the GPS will eventually replace
the speedo/odometer and be responsible for generating maintenance
"alerts" when incorporated into the vehicle's computer system.

Now, can anyone tell me if there are any suitable "heads-up displays"
hitting the military surplus market?  Surely would be nice to avoid
having to look at the dashboard.
