Looking for '55 Speedometer or dash cluster

My speedometer is trashed. Thought it was the tranny gear, but discovered there is something messed up on the dash side.
Looking to buy either just the head or the entire cluster from a donor car.....

I just read on another site that the '55 speedometer head has a hole for lubrication.If you don't find one it might could be taken out, cleaned up ,PB blasted ,and loosened up. My wiper switch had completely "froze up" and I soaked it in PB Blaster and it freed up completely. On eBay Theres a dash cluster for a '56 Olds with top bid of $25 with two days left on auction.

It will be next weekend before I have time to play with the car stuff. But I may be able to help you with a more reasonable price if the 1954 interchanges with 1955.
