You'll have to find out WHAT part is broken. Is it the actual speedometer itself, or the cable, or even the plastic drive gear? You can pick up used complete instrument panels on E-bay for $15-$20, so the speedo can be swapped over. The speedo cables are only about $20 new. More than likely it's the cable.
