Does your speedo head have an oil wick on the housing where the speedo cable
attaches? With the head out, very light sewing machine oil could be
sparingly applied over a period of days. Too much lube (here or in the
cable) will cause problems.

My attempts to quiet speedometers on my own have seen only short lived
success. So, my best solution has been to put the job in the hands of a tech
that has the experience and equipment to work with an antique unit to
include cleaning, detailing and calibration.
