the speedo on my 59 reads fast under 30, hangs at 30 from 30 to 45 and then
reads slow over 45.

My own 59 TF speedo tale of woe: I took out the whole cluster, had it rebuilt
for 450 bucks, new chrome on bezel. Re-installed it (and as you might know,
it is not an easy job to R & R this unit.) All the gauges worked perfectly and
the speedo worked like a new car. For two blocks. Right aw
The problem may be inside the speedo, but try pouring some light oil down
the inside of the cable first; like 3-in-1 oil.
Also check the condition of the gear that is on the other end; goes in a

I don't know what distributor owned it but from the gold color I'm pretty sure
it was a Lone Star beer truck. I think it would be way cool if you restored it

Well, I sent in my old unit and paid the money, got the new one, but was so
busy that it took me more than a year to to install it, so whatever warranty
there was would be long gone!
I am pretty sure the person who rebuilt it was selling the rebuild via eBay.
All I know is his name was Randy,
