Default Speedo/Trip odometer problem

Mine has not worked in a long time. I have my dash out for other reasons and started to look into this. I took the trip odometer out and it is not working. There is a couple of very small washer tha thold everything in place that are not holding it in place. This is allowing the wheels to float and not register. A new set of wheels is 45 bucks. Does anyone have an old speedo that they are not using or would be willing to part with. I actually need just the odometer wheels. Or does anyone have a fix for this other than replacing the whole set of wheels.

Chances are the whole thing is gummed up, and should be rebuilt/calibrated anyhow.

The rest of the speedo is very clean and works very well. It is just the odometer wheels. I'll probably end up just getting a new set of wheels.
