Terry..... Gave my K1 a bit of a tune up today. Cleaned and squared off the points (on my last few bits of Blue Point paper sticks and no one knows what they are anymore). Bike runs strong, ready for Spring. I use it a lot and thinking I might try electronic points. What EBay brand are you recommending?
These John??

I found these last year and bought them, they are similar to the ones I used to have from Snap-on back in the 70s.
I used to carry one in my wallet with a white business card(to clean the points after).
Those look just perfect. Mine are the ancient blue ones, down to my last two! You are ancient if you know what they (and the business card) are used for!
I don't think I am.....contrary to what my back is saying to me
