I have a dead odometer sitting on my desk right now with a split gear. 
It is a 220km/hr one from an 80 'S'.   I also have another one the same
that was jammed up.  I took it apart to see what the problem was, and
half of a gear fell out... Wierd.  Can't find where it goes, so I put
it all back together 3000 kms later, it still works good.  Perhaps it
was a left over part from the last guy who fixed it???  Dunno.  It
works.
