When it dies , you must replace the drive gear or glue it back on the shaft as it's slipping .
Any competent speedo shop can do this , you'll $ave by taking the speedo binnacle out if you're handy , you prolly won't damage anything and can also wipe clean the illumination lights & replace the burned out ones and maybe even fix the bad dash light dimmer rheostat .

As I was driving the car the odometer stopped working when it hit 195,000 miles (precisely). Both the odometer and the trip odometer. I can push the reset button on the trip odometer and it will work for about a mile or so, as does the odometer. In a 42 mile commute I racked up about 10 miles by doing this.

The knob did pop off in my hand as well as the spring, but I just had to press it back on. May be unrelated since it went 50 miles after that before stopping to work.
