After a couple failed attempts to remedy an increasingly extreme wobble on my '74 Smiths special, mostly involving replacement cables and a lot of cursing, I decided to send it out to people who actually knew what they were doing. A post on this forum recommended Foreign Speedo in San Diego, CA. They are a GREAT shop!! They replaced the bezel, glass, and the thing looks like new, works like a charm. Total cost was just over $100. They are very up front about their cost structure.
Side note: I was initially fairly convinced that it was a cable fault because I would take it out and run it on my drill and it wouldn't wobble. But then I realized that it was because I was holding it vertically! When I ran it on the drill horizontally, it bounced all over the place, just like it did on the bike. That's when I figured that the head needed work.
Moral of the story: if you are looking for a good shop and don't feel up to cracking the head yourself, I recommend the guys at Foreign Speedo in San Diego. Nice work!
