Sure, we diehards are still here.

Those things break. Common trouble is the plastic pin retaining the return spring on the speedometer gauge.

You can disable the mileage counter electrically by snipping one of the brown wires leading from the speedometer board to the service reminder counter board. Or, just pull the staple-like jumper used to get the output of that counter board to the cluster board. Both of these require pulling the cluster out, which you may not want to do, if that's why you wouldn't pull the bulb.

The "staple" can be seen below the reset lever in this pic.
