Default Erratic odometer, speedometer OK

My 93 SW1 odometer is erratic, it seldom works but the speedometer works
fine. Sometimes the odometer works but usually it doesn't move. Any
ideas for a quick cheap fix? Don't bother mentioning the dealer, their
bills are higher than the worth of the car ;(

early model s-series had a weak odo gear which is very common for it to
break. intermittently working is a sign that it is on the way out. it is a
tiny little plastic gear inside the gauge cluster that can be replaced.
