Z1100A shaft. Speedometer broken

The first time this year and I'm out on the shaftie. Speedo/speedo drive becomes extremely noisy and the needle fluctuates wildly. I stop, when I restart the speedo does not work.
On investigation the fault is in the speedo not the cable or the drive unit.
It's an A3 model with a mechanical cable drive. I contacted Speed Cables in Swansea and they want £150 plus P&P and the VAT to investigate and repair. That's not a real problem as long as it is repairable. If not what are my options ?
As far as I can tell the complete cluster is unique to the A3 model shafty, but I'm not sure about the speedometer itself.
Or, has any had their unit replaced by a moden electronic one that looks the same as the original.
