Careful neilc, the early instruments with lights are worth a sack full of cash.

just put some plexyglass in speedo and then went to test by using a drill at the end of the cable,numbers turn but needle doesn't move? is it cause the rpm's aren't fast enough or linkage is broke to needle?

Will probably have to take apart unless someone knows something I don,t,I will probably go with a mini Speedo anyway and sell these guys to pay for it

The K1 gauges are unique in that they have the recessed lens, like the K2+, but have the internal idiot lights like K0.

I saw a NOS K1 tach go for $750 on eBay. $100 to $300 pair used in various conditions are common.

That's my goal too. I've stumbled across parts I found out later were worth more than I knew. Money for the current projects has to come from somewhere, so I looked for a reasonable price to sell at. Watch ebay for a month or two off and on and you'll get the feel.

Oh man, there is a reconditioned K1 used speedo for BIN $395!

I sold dozens of these gauges and thousands of the gauge parts.
It takes a few hours to restore the gauges, that determines the price
