The speedo sounds like you just need to lube the cable.

The Tach is known for it's inaccuracy but casper's electronics can rebuild it.

The Radio> Check to see if the dash lights are dimmed all the way down. Otherwise the radio display is toast.

Exclamation Re: general info

These questions should really be posted to separate areas. (i.e. "Interior" and "Audio") We try to be specific as much as possible around here.

Did you indicate you had a TTA? Is this an analog dash? If so, the speedometer itself might need rebuilding.

As far as the radio, the CIG-CLK fuse might be blown.

See these links (and areas of the forum) for followup:
