Default Speedo repair on Oahu

Aloha,

My tripometer won't reset, I thing the reset knob's plastic parts have just worn down too much from age and can't engage the tripometer gears. Is there a speedo shop on the island that can do this repair work? Its not a big issue of mine (odometer works fine), but something to add to my list of repairs.

Measure once, cut twice...

Cut it big, shove it in, paint to match...

All ya need is bailin' wire -n- Doug tape...

If it's stuck just push harder...

Yeah i tried everything and it just doesn't work. You can spin the knob until your hand goes red from the pressure, no dice.
