Speedometer not working

[loubob]

I have an early(4-'30) 1930 standard coupe with a Mitchell o.d.

On the ride home from Newburgh,NY, the speedo stopped working.
Found the Mitchell speedo extension was not working and obtained a new one rom them.

Speedo cable is 3 years old.

Installed new Mitchell cable & connected it to the main cable. Speedo not working.

I disconnected the cables. Ran a drill on the main cable and speedo works fine.

I turned the rear axle and felt the inner Mitchell cable turning as it should.

Reconnected and tried again. Speedo still not working.

Suggestions/thoughts??

Thanks in advance.
