Speedometer noise....

My 77 F150 had started making a strange knocking sound from under the dash, but only while I was driving. It took me a few days to figure out out what it was and I narrowed it down to the speedo since it would get faster or slower depending on how fast I was driving. It's not a sqeek it's more of a knock. It's there any particular oil or silicone spray lubricant I should try to quiet it down? I didn't want to just spray anything on it and make it worse. Hopefully don't need to replace it....

I would remove the cable from the truck. Pull out the core. Clean and lube the cable and re install.
