Got it out over the weekend and tried the cup of hot water trick but that didn't move the dial any. Pulled it apart and it looks simple enough, just a bimetallic spring moving a gear slightly and the gear moved fine. I gave North Hollywood Speedo a call, their about 4 miles from my house and they've done excellent work on gauges for me in the past, however the estimate was $160 which exceeds the price of a new one.
The Mini's gauge is the same but the length of the capillary is about 1.5' shorter so it wouldn't work. Reckon it's time to call Nisonger.
