I was doing some research on late 60’s Speedy crowns and well, life got in the way. I’ll check my spreadsheet and see if I can offer anything re crown originality.
Kinda foolish to make a swap to a flatfoot maybe??
Well, that's of course entirely up to you. I have to plea guilty to replacing a 32 tooth crown with a flat foot on one of my Speedmasters (145.022-67). Then again, I've also left it on another (145.022-68), so I guess that evens things out. 😁
If I were in your shoes, I'd probably leave it as is. Don't ask me why, I honestly do not have a rationale for it.

David - that would be nice!
Simon might freak out if I ask him to change it to another crown...?
Grattis @hansaboy! Looks like an honest and lovely piece. To me that lume looks original. Reminds me of my old 145.012-67. That one also had a 32 crown.
