Speedo bounce

So here is a new question....after painting the gauge needles yesterday, I was taking the paper towel out from behind the speedometer and other gauges. The needle moved a little, but moved back down after the paper was removed. Now, today, the speedo is bouncing. No problems before today. I am guess first is to check the speedo cable to the back of the cluster. I pulled the cable out a bit (not even an inch 0 there was slack) when taking the cluster out yesterday. My question is - is it probably a cable problem, or did I hit something moving the paper towel and the needle when painting yesterday? I will put the cable back today (put it back an inch). Any ideas?
