Wedge TR7 Speedo Problems Need a Repair Place

About 5 years ago I purchased a NOS 140 MPH speedo from British Victoria. Up until recently it was fine. One day the needle wouldn't drop below 35 mph and struggled to get to 55 or higher. Come to a stop and back down to 35. Now it is stuck at 35 no matter what speed I drive. When I took it out last weekend I had to really pull to get the cable out of the back of the speedo. I was thinking I was going to take it to Antique Gauges on Monday in Willoughby OH. John has been in business around 40 years and did all my TRs gauges. Well he found ill and sold off his inventory. Haven't had much luck on the internet. Found a couple that I wasn't to confident with. I would like to get this one rebuilt so anyone out there at knows of a repair place?
 
^^^^ Seconded.
 
Well as luck goes sometimes I figured out what was wrong. The screw on the right that holds the face plate on had backed out and was binding the metering needle. Screwed it in then ran it on my drill and it works. On the other hand as luck goes it seems I have have lost something. On the upper right hand corner of the cluster face plate and according to the TR7manual there is suppose to be a blue lens on the right and not sure on the left as mine doesn't have the rear window heater but there is a hole there. Can someone send me a pic of them and does anyone have extras?
