MG TD TF 1500 - Need used speedometer for my '52 TD

If you have a working used speedometer (dished face, Jaeger) for a TD, I am interested in buying it...
I know I can get the old one repaired, but I don't want a hole in the dash for a month...
Thanks

E.B., I have one that I cleaned up/rebuilt myself out of my 52. I don't want to sell it but I would be interested in lending it to you for a few months. That way you would not have a hole in your dash while you got yours repaired and I would find out if mine worked. Let me know.

LOL Patrick. Knowing your attention to detail, I'm betting it works.

That is very generous of you....
I have posted on the MG Experience forum , in the classifieds, and will know shortly if anyone has one for sale, (reasonably), there....
I checked with Nisonger, but based on the current condtion of my speedo, I have a feeling it will be cheaper to find one for sale...
I notice that Nisonger is in N.Y., and I want to wait till the storm passes , to call and make sure he is still o.k.
I will let you know in a few days, if I will be taking you up on your offer.
I'm so "bummed" about this...argh!

Thanks all, for the info, and Patrick for the offer....
I have found a good used unit, at a fair price, and the owner has agreed to take my old unit in partial trade, making it a good deal....Using "PayPal" gives me a better margin of safety, as well....
Meanwhile, I have made a "blanking plate", so there is no big hole in the dash...(photo attached).
