Ron, I don't know if this was addressed earlier, but there can be 
another cause for needle bouncing. If the inner cable is a little too 
long, it can intermittently push the cone against the bearing 
allowing it to touch the cup occasionally and drag the needle 
mechanically rather than magnetically.

A lot of new cables seem to be a bit long. A simple test is to undo 
the speedo end, and insert a washer over the inner cable that fits 
inside the cable nut.  This has worked in a lot of cases, and maybe 
will help you.
