Is the speedo still working properly?  It could be that the plastic tab which holds the collar on to the mount is worn, and the cable is coming off at the back. You will need to get the front part of the dash off and get the clocks out to have a look.  Haynes manual tells you how, or plenty of folks here will have done it, a lot.

Don't worry!  Not a berm.....  Kato!
