New Schwinn Approved Speedometer

Finally got one of these bought on ebay for a reasonable price. Just finished cleaning it up and getting everything working again. I had to take apart the head unit and get the input drive shaft freed up, it was froze. The worm drive that mounts on the wheel came in pieces and was full of old grease that had turned into concrete. Had to do a bit of grinding on the worm drive as I think the previous owner applied too much force to it and partially stripped a tooth (due the old grease). A bit roughed up but works fine!

 

My objective with this Varsity is to find every possible "Schwinn Approved" option there is for it and install it. The parts don't have to be mint, but they do need to work and look reasonably good. The bike itself is all original including, the Panasonic tires, all the original reflectors, shifter cable housings, and handlebar tape. Every part has been cleaned and regreased and works like new.

 

Here's what I have so far for the optional accessories:

• Chrome fenders
• Soubitez 6v 3W Front & Rear Dyno Light System
• Front Quick Release
• Rear Rack
• Seat Bag
• Speedometer with 27" worm/cable drive

 

Here's some of the other accessories I'm on the lookout for, not all of these accessories are compatable, but I still want them for the collection:

• Wire Grocery basket
• Handlebar bell
• Brooks Saddle
• misc tools, etc, that I could put in the seat bag

Everything "Schwinn Approved" of course!
