Subject:speedo 85 vanagon....DPO and the use of various adhesives?

Hello all,
   First, thx to all who responded.  My speedo now
works...135,046...took it for a one mile drive.  The
previous owner had been in there once before, and upon
doing so, broke the speedo cable end...and
gratuitously spread epoxy all over it and jammed it
back on...I was able to get most of it off, and find
that the connector had busted off, and thats what he
tried to fix to no avail.  Having no other choice, I
put a drop or two of super glue on it to hold till it
breaks and I get a new cable.  Turns out the white
gear had worked its way out on one end...a few light
taps with a jewlers hammer and all is well....seems
like everything ive fixed is some re-fix of a previous
problem this guy either fixed or let go so far, there
was no other choice but replacement....oye...I feel
better now....thx for letting me rant.
                 -Erin R.
