K and KB tachometer

I am actively looking for one of these tachometers. I have this posted in the wanted section also.

Re: K and KB tachometer

I don't know how desperate you are or how much of a rush, but there is one on ebay. Seems priced high for the condition? The listing says he does ship to Canada.

Re: K and KB tachometer

I tried to buy that tachometer. When I tried to pay , I was told the seller does not ship to Canada. I have a mail address in Point Roberts, WA, but the border is closed, indefinitely.

Re: K and KB tachometer

Well that's got to be frustrating. The seller could at least update his listing...

Re: K and KB tachometer

There was an IHC wrecking yard in the next city. I remember these tachometers on their show=room shelves. Sadly the yard is gone. It was forced out of business by environmental law changes and the rapid rising of real-estate. The yard was about $100K 50 years ago and it sold for well over a million dollars. I takes a long time in business to make that kind of money selling used Binder Bits. I bought lots of parts there. I traded a few complete trucks for parts and future consideration.

Re: K and KB tachometer

I am still in the market for this tachometer. The vehicle wrecking/recycling yard that used to have lots of Old IHC parts was closed more than a decade ago.

Re: K and KB tachometer

That one is marked for RED engine. When I first read you post I thought you were saying it was for a S-160, old eyes aren't what they used to be!
I'd love to find one marked for the BLD, but they are very few and very far between.
