HELP: Fried ODO w\ tach wire 200 1987

While replacing the broken gear on my ODO, in low light I connected the high voltage tach line to the wrong place. Turned the key, saw the speedo jump and smelled that electronics-smoke-of-death, and turned the car off. My speedo still works, but my odometer which I was so excited about fixing (had the classic little broken 25 tooth gear) still doesn't work even though gears good. Am sure it's the voltage. I can see a little since mark near one of the chips on the board. I am attaching a pic. Any help as to where to go from here would be really appreciated. I am crushed. :(

    If you hooked up the red/white wire you will have fried your odometer.

      Yes. I have fried the odometer. Will start the at the junkyard tomorrow looking for the small circuit board with the blue and grey wires and try to solder the new board and motor to the speedo assembly.
