Hi,
Long shot but here goes:
I have a Smiths NVT speedo (Yes it is a Smiths speedo not a Veglia)
The odometer stopped working a while back but I decided to have a go at fixing it.
I got the bezel off & removed the speedo.
It's in excellent condition, no spider eggs, extremly clean, all gears look in great condition but . . . . .
There's a 'tang' that sticks out & engages with teeth on the side of the first odometer gear, this is what transfers the movement to the odometer gears.
My one has broken just at the bend in PIC1 where the arrow is pointing.
PIC2 is the gear with the spring steel washer which should have a 'bendy' bit to it.
Does anybody know of a company selling internal parts for mechanical Smiths instruments?
By any chance does somebody have a speedo they have taken apart, thrown in a box which might have the part I'm looking for?
It's such a shame, as this is the only part it needs to get working 100% again
