Sunday, May 22, 2022 -- Long Beach Motorcycle Swap Meet -- Part 7 -- 1972 Porsche 914 Speedometer

The trim ring is pretty rusty.

Has a cable operated trip-odometer reset button



The rubber gasket that retains the gauge in the cluster is torn.

Under the lip of the trim ring is the part number printed on the edge of the gauge face.
914 641 505 11




Strangely, the numbers "printed" on the side of the gauge are double struck in places with some other larger numbers.
7.72 (July, 1972) should be the month/year of when the gauge was built.
So, this gauge could have come from an early 1973 914.
