SCHWINN SPEEDOMETER HEAD DELUXE DUAL-SCALE VINTAGE HURET BICYCLE BIKE SPEEDO

Description: This is a very nice, fully reconditioned used example of the dual-scale Schwinn Deluxe speedometer head, one of the most elaborate speedometers that Huret ever made for Schwinn, in full working order and with its outer MPH scale stamped in chrome silver. This was their second-generation example, from the years after Schwinn phased out their original 0-60 MPH speedometer and transitioned to this dual-scale 0-40 MPH design, which includes a 0-60 KmH scale on the inner dial. This has had a complete disassembly, overhaul, cleaning and lube. It has been polished, waxed and reassembled, and is back in full working order with a very good shine. The speedometer head is 2 3/8" wide, 2¼" high and 1 5/8" deep. It has a polished chrome rim, glass face and chrome housing, with the inner (KmH) numbers in white and the outer (MPH) in chrome silver, on a black dial with bright orange pointer coloring. There is some uniform speckling in the chrome finish of the rear case (see Photos 3, 4 & 5), but it's not obvious. All chrome has been polished to bring back the shine, and waxed to keep it that way. Its datestamp in the upper right corner of the back indicates that it was assembled on the 44th week of 1978. (Photos 3 & 4)This has had a complete rebuild and reconditioning, and is all ready to go. There is no accumulated mileage; it's just passing 0000.1.
