It is not that difficult to disassemble the speedo, especially now that KAdams laid it all out with pics. For me the knowledge and experience of fixing something is more important and enjoyable than sending it out to be fixed, often at a price I am not willing to pay (unless I can't do the job due to lack of knowledge or specialty tools).

The question I have from both your great description and DieselGiant's is what you do with those plastic gears. If they are stripped or broken, can you buy new ones?
If I found a speedo/odo at a junkyard that was properly geared could I just swap it out of the cluster? That seems easier that a rebuild, but then I still would need to change the mileage - would that end up costing me the same as having my existing one rebuilt?
I am weiging my options, but I am now pretty convinced that I don't want to disassemble the odometer myself!
