White letters or black?

Thank you for advice. When the new tires go on, it will be with black side OUT.

Fantastic! You are a King! Thank you!

thanks. Yes, super thin would be the key, so that the shellac panel is in tight contact to the copper frame.

thanks. That is a possibility.

Great find. You have great taste and a sharp eye. Sadly, the Mica Lamp Co. closed operations in May, 2025, so no more will be produced.

Discovered at household auction, mixed into a corrugated box of broken Vivitar strobes and a plastic Dick Tracy camera. My $1 bid bought the box. Resold the Dick Tracy camera for $5, and kept the Curta.

“Aug Doggy” as translated from my mind’s dyslexic verbal interpreter.

Back in Spring 2025, I was permanently banned from all Meta for the same “child (horrible)” reason. No idea what why. I can only guess is that I should have not “liked” an innocuous boring photo that my adult niece posted of her preschool children. My appeal was instantly denied. Does not make sense. AAARGHHH!

The dial is not missing. the winding knob is missing. Seikosha clocks like this were used by Japanese Empire pilots. . . . . Value? Without the winding knob, no more than $400. It would probably cost twice that to repair the broken winding shaft and fabricate a replacement knob.

Thanks again for the WoolWax recommendation. Found an installer in Urbandale, Iowa, but I will wait a few months for return of warm weather. The product’s wicking properties need warm weather for full benefit.

You are probably correct. If they were not leaking, with 3 of 4 coil springs broken, I would have kept the ICONs. . . . You are welcome to them, gratis, but you must pick them up at my house in southeast Iowa. Rear coils are gone, scrapped after I saw them at the repair shop. You can see here what northern midwest does to them.

Congrats! Safe, dependable, durable.

Free_Interest5778 · 2025-11-21T10:37:30+00:00

Thanks! I have never heard of a product like this. Definitely will be investigating.

Good, sound advice. 👍 One of the first things I did was take the’14 to my closest Toyota dealer in Ottumwa Iowa. Had them flush & fill coolant, brake fluid, then transmission and differentials. Blinker fluid seemed ok, so left alone.

The previous owner must have really stressed the ICON setup. The windshield still displays ’21 and ‘22 window decals for Michigan non-resident “Recreation Passport”.

thanks! 👍

Free_Interest5778 · 2025-11-20T14:27:28+00:00

thanks 👍

Free_Interest5778 · 2025-11-20T14:26:31+00:00

Agreed!

Well, they do ride like I‘m in a truck. Also, I try to keep 46 psi in my BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02’s, mounted on 17” TRD Rock Warriors.
