Other Things Simplex / Internet Archive
« on: March 23, 2019, 05:45:59 PM »
I was recently informed about WayBackMachine, an internet archive which periodicaly takes snapshots of internet websites to preserve a record of them. You can check out various snapshots of Gary Wollard's old Servi-Cycle Collectors website. Here's how you do it:
Google WayBackMachine
Click on one of the listings for WayBackMachine
Type in Servi-Cycle in the big URL box
Select the year you would like to visit by clicking on one of the bars in the timeline at the top of the page
Click on one of the highlighted days that snapshots were recorded in the yearly calendar
You're there!
The response time is a little slow, but there is Gary's website, out of the ether. Most snapshots differ as Gary added to and built up the site.
WOW!
You can also find usscootermuseum and others
By the way I recently purchased the usscootermuseum domain name and am working to restore John's website.

Jim Kilau (Jim's Scooter Parts in St Paul 612-868-6685) has sold his building and is moving to smaller quarters. He is selling some of his nice stuff, including his very nice original Quarter-Ton truck and his beautifully restored 1938 Servi. He had the QTT at Portland, and both of them at Davenport. He has reduced his asking prices.

An ebay seller has "more than 10" sets of 2 #2220L bulbs for $3.99 plus shipping. I don't know what the L designates. Does anyone else know? Could be a good price.

This company apparently supplied Simplex pistons. Maybe other castings. Are they still in business?

Other Things Simplex / Polished aluminum tank side trim
« on: November 01, 2015, 07:01:53 AM »
I have seen 3 sets of the polished aluminum tank sides with the Servi Cycle decal on a field of light blue. A bike with one of these sets wa at Portland a few years ago. Does anyone have an accessory list or other info on these and when they were offered? My impression is that they were an option about 1948.
Thanks
