Yes, 1983 300SD's speedometer is electronic. I had the same problem before. but I found a 87 420 SEL dash board for $45 at a local junk yard. I took the gear off and put it in mine. the guy who sold it to me probably forgot about the digital outside temperature readout which worth more than that. now I have a spare for my W124.

I think after 82(?) they don't use cable anymore. there is a pickup sensor near the shaft output on the tranny.
