Topic: Where did this Sebring Ignition come from?

[Honda Alan_UK]

Hi all,

Last year I bought a CB500/4 1972 K1 that was an American import. Everything was fine until the other weekend when it died at the side of the road. Got it to the garage and the issue was no spark, traced back to the electronic ignition.

The markings on the unit say Sebring, but I cannot find any information about it at all. Google has failed me.

This is my question. Where has it come from (apart from Sebring!) and where can I find out some information about it?

I've attached some photos. Suffice to say it has now been replaced, but it's a mystery I'd like to solve.

Many thanks, Alan UK

Aside from an extensive internet search...
You could try this, the ads are in the old magazines of the day..I may be able to look, but not immediately.
Find the old address, often its a physical location. Then get a nearby member to check it out or try mailing letter to it. If its a long term landlord, he may know where the original place went next, or what the owner did next. They may have gone to greener pa$tures, could be dead, could be nearby..
But somewhere there may be boxes of spares or a fix.... Faint hope sort of deal.

I know Sebring only as an Austrian company. Exhausts mainly. Oh, and the German for ignition is 'Zündung'.
