Don't drop your speedometer! Now with pics and how-to!

I just spent hours cleaning and repairing the correct speedometer for the 300D. In essence, I built it from parts. It was beautiful. Then I freaking dropped it. The needle peg no longer rotates freely, and upon inspection, it seems that the centering shaft at the backside of the movement actually snapped off. That's one part I can't swap from a donor unit, as I don't have a good one on hand.

Well, I feel like a moron. Folks, if you're gonna drop your speedometer, do it before you spend all night rebuilding it. Okay? It just makes dropping it feel a billion times worse.

Holy crap... Dumb! Argh!
