    Not a black widow in the bunch! Dang! Two or three complete with working lights and I am confident you would recoup your investment. Excellent find!

      I know, I was hoping to pull one out. Later came to find out he had a mint condition black widow in a closet in the house. He wouldn't sell it.

    Cool you saved them. I had a Rupp enduro back in 1969. The torque converter was a new concept at the time.
