Gearbox identification

Postby phil23fair » Fri Jan 16, 2015 6:41 pm

I have got an Italian ratio Li150 gearbox of unknown provenance where every gear and the Xmas tree is marked with a hand etched letter J about 3mm high which has a little box etched around it. Anybody got any ideas if this is original or one of the recent remade ones?

I took a set out of an early LI series 1 engine and they had an etched or scribed J on each gear same as you describe.

Not sure what it means, just that I've seen the same.

I have an early S2 Li150 gearbox with the 'J' (Innocenti) mark.

They are in fact very common markings, particularly on LI 150 Gear boxes

It's on several of my cogs but never seen a box with it on all of them.
