Not uncommon at all. When the odo stops so does the trip odo. Time to pull it and send to a rebuilder.
I am currently have mine pulled from my 65 coupe as the seal on the speedo/trans bullet and allowed trans grease to wick up to the speedo head. So the speedo bounces so time to have it repaired.

I recommend Corvette Specialties of MD West. Ordered a 64 Speedo today. It will be here Wednesday and they are buying the broken speedo. Bought a tach a couple months ago. Delivered in 3 days. They also bought my broken tach.

they have done my work for years and started back east around 40 + years ago so they know what they are doing.

I recommend Joe Ray in Little Rock, did a great job on mine. Quick turn around, too.

All good advice above. One last thing to check is to be sure the reset cable fully releases (springs back out) when you stop pushing on the reset "button." The reset gear inside the speedometer head makes connection between the odometer counters and the drive gear when the cable is fully released. The reset gear moves to the "reset" position against the counters when the cable is fully pushed in. No odometer movement when the cable is in between fully extended and fully pushed in. While you have the cable out. lube is up with Kable Ease. Makes for much easier resetting the trip odometer.
I used "button" because I'm sick of the forum censor asterisking out perfectly clean-meaning words used for their ordinary and clean purpose. You know, like "kn0b."
