Post some good photos of it!  I haven't seen too many come up for sale, but I do know that a super nice, fully restored one was for sale last year for $4500.

Don't know what it's worth but it's so cool! If one was for sale for $4500 with a great restoration that puts these around, maybe less than the servicycles?
Super cool, would love to have one.
Want to buy; old motorbikes, old gas pumps too!

 I have one of these ,    took me years to find the serial #        ,,   gotta put the engine back together though ,   I use mine to run errands on the golf course I work at ,    I can't stand the way the handlebars hit my knees ! It had the idiot " torsion "type throttle that the solid wire inner cable  twisted in the outer housing ,    got rid of that

I wondered how well those torsion throttles worked.....sounds like not very well.  How did they hook them to the carburator.

And....what's your frame & motor numbers on the scooter (I'm turning into a broken record on this question!)?
