I should be able to do that tomorrow

Another thought, I have never tried this, but could you use a cordless drill on low speed to turn the inner part of the speedo cable (cable side) to see if that gets the needle moving?
There is a pin on the speedometer that fits into a slot in the gearbox. I think that would be damaged by using a cordless drill.

Perhaps just taking it apart will show a problem. I read several warnings about taking it apart carefully to avoid damage .. perhaps I was not careful enough?
