    My does, attached to the back of the aluminum faceplate. Yours must have fallen off. Have you checked around inside the Speedo?

    Ya, I opened it up to make sure. Figured they were pretty dry and brittle, but no luck.

    As I recall, the small pieces of colored film were only held on with something like two small pieces of masking tape. Adhesive on the tape dries out and falls off. Must have been sufficient in the day, but not after fifty years. Plenty of possibilities for replacement: https://www.amazon.com/colored-transparent-plastic-sheets/s?k=colored+transparent+plastic+sheets

    I bought it as a spare since I figured at some point bluemoonscooter will not have NOS speedos available. And he keeps going up in price, which is to be expected. And at that price I want the original color films! Ha!

    It’s not even the correct speedo for my ‘74, but I love the single digit speedos!
