VDO Speedometer Replacement

The odometer display on our VDO speedometer has become so intermittent that it appears it's time to replace the speedometer. I know there are several online sources for the replacement, but I would l like to find one with the capability of setting the odometer reading on the new unit to the same mileage as displayed on the unit being replaced. Is anyone aware of a source that can set the new odometer to the proper reading? Thanks!

LOOOOOOOVE this forum.

PO had informed me of the speedometer replacement when I bought it, along with the difference in the odometer readings. I thought I would just have to live with the odometer being wrong. Maybe not.

See my post here for all details, but I usedd Nichols Nichols Speedometer & Instruments - Speedometers, Tachographs, Service and...

"I just installed a new tach (totally fried) and speedo (worked, but LCD getting faint). I paid a little more for both units through NSI, but they were able to program the original mileage (~75,000) and set an estimated hours (~1500, tach was so fried he couldn't recover hours from it) their info:http://nsifleet.com/contact.php

All in it was around $350 ~120-130 for each piece and then 30 or 40 a pop to program them. A little more than I wanted, but it's done right now."
