Simplex Speedometer on eBay
« on: March 02, 2015, 03:55:44 PM »
Alright guys, who is bidding on this?  These are relatively rare and do not come up for sale very often.

From 25 to 73 Bucks within the first 3 hours of listing , with 5 days 20 hours to end of bidding .

I'd say someone wants it , bad . Be interesting to keep an eye on this auction .

Ended out at a $178.50!  I didn't bid.  Anyone on here get it?

That is a lot of coin for a non working unit!  I did not bid on it, but I wouldn't mind getting another one if the price was reasonable.

Sorry Relic, My friend Mike wanted this to go on his other Sportsman. He now has two real speedometers. He also has enough to build a couple of nice ones with repop face decals. I thought this was kinda high but they are really hard to get. The head unit is just a Stewart Warner metal bicycle style. The disc drive and cable is the real problem to find. Wayne said he still has enough parts to build some if anyone is interested.
