Were where this lot found, under a bush?

Well if not under a bush we have a serial CB72/77 gauge collector and as can be seen from the image they are dire. Following a conversation from the owner I thought I was getting two gauges, not sure how two developed into nine. The bezels were removed by the owner, I hate to think what they are like.

At least with four of them there's little hope due to excessive wear at the drive end and bent needle pins where whoever removed the needles didn't use the well known two teaspoon method applying equal pressure both sides.

I'm sure you will be able to make at least one good one out of that lot, I have a CB77 with a virtually new old stock speedo but I can't remember if the bezel is held on like the 400/4's by crimping.  Perhaps not as bad as the fours with it being oval - might have a bit more 'wiggle room'
Btw, I think the last one in the pic, bottom right was a special Australian version  :)

Crikey Pete, and I was only just talking about you doing mine. The one I have is like brand new compared to those. In good nick they change hands for about £250 on eBay (ask Ash). So there's over 2k of gauges there.

The £250 is for the CB450K0 Bomber clocks Roy (mostly made by Fuji Electric). I bought a lovely CB72 Nippon Seiki  early one at Lincoln autojumble including the rare seal and perfect headlamp bucket for £80 at Lincoln Autojumble a couple of weeks ago. The seller said he's never used eBay or the like.

I have a CB250 JDM dual clock like that too that I am restoring. Yes they are crimped .. I am making a milled out piece of plastic to aid removal/reassembly of the bezel.

Sure you will make a superb job of one of them Peter. Just hoping that its not the post 1966 one you have to do as its not contra-rotating like the others.

The 548 miler looks clean and interesting.

Roger Etcell (Hondarestorations in Towcester) had loads of them in bits if you need any parts (I know the guy he got them from)
