I had what mite have been the same thing. I took out the speedo and it would not turn. There is a oil wick in a tube that has a screwdriver slot. Take that off  I applied a few drops of light oil in the speedometer. I let it sit for a few hours upright ( as mounted , no oil to drip on the face)and tried to move it with a pair of plyers and a the piece if broken cable. I oiled the wick as it was dry. I used a little 3 in 1 brand Heavy and a few drops of 10w that I had open. The speedometer stated to move with the plyers and then by hand after that i used the piece of cable and my cordless drill on low speed . Mine works just fine no bouncing and very accurate according to the GPS in my phone.

Sorry you got the whole blow by blow. 

Good Luck
