This one is headed the same way, I could have bought the same thing a couple weeks back for $8 with reasonable shipping charges. The seller blocked me from bidding because I am in Canada, ended with 0 bids.

Or..

Flaming River has them also. Their columns to me are exactly like the GM units.

68c10owner · 02-11-2005, 12:01 AM

I actually bid on that lens. I put in a bid for $75 when it was down at around $20. I figured it would`nt go more than $30 at the most so I bid high so I would`nt be out bid. Lucky I was outbid because there is no way I would want to pay $75 for that lens. It sold for $102.50. I`m very relieved to know that they are available so cheap and I actually fell kinda like a idiot for bidding so high but I have`nt seen them anywhere else. It`s good to know they are available.

**Richard** · 02-11-2005, 01:55 AM

Wow, I am going to have to make some of those. Easy to make, you can print a reverse decal on model decal media then buff the lettering off of a standard indicator. Install new decal using decal solvent and the decal is undectable. Everything is available at the local hobby shop except the scanned image which can be obtained from a later model column.
P.S. I got an overdrive lens with my factory tilt at the Pomona swap meet. Just does not look quite right, the individual numbers and letters are to big. So I will just make my own.

junkyardjohn · 02-11-2005, 12:45 PM

I'LL BET WHOEVER PAID $102.50 FOR THAT LENS THAT YOU CAN PICK UP EVERY DAY FOR $7.00 FEELS PRETTY FOOLISH ABOUT NOW IF HE READS THIS THREAD.

Bob Moore · 02-11-2005, 04:57 PM

John - Was that your part or are there more sellers in Carson City? My hat is off to whoever sold it for $102.50. That is almost as good as the LMC and Snap-On catalogs being auctioned on-line. Hopefully the buyer was not a board member.
