Default 1982 Speedometer stopped working

1982 stock 75k miles
On way home the other day, the speedometer and odometer quit working. Tachometer was still working. Any help and advice on getting it along with odometer to work again would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have cruise control? If so, the transducer may have gone out. Check there first, pull the cable that comes out of the transducer to the speedo and spin it while watching the speedo (or having a friend watch) to see if the speedo works. If the speedo works, either bypass the transducer or get a rebuilt one.
