Contacted Laverda specialist Wolfgang Haerter of Columbia Car and Cycle. He recommended Japanese  electronics brand Shindegen as #1. He’s checking his inventory now.

This quartet had several hits back in the 60's.  In this song a jilted girl sings about her ex someday coming back to her.

I really like that song but didn't know Elvin wasn't the singer.  I had the album and played the song many times.

This iis a sad story about a guy who comes home to find his wife in bed with another guy.  He packs his suitcase and leaves.  Next day he dictates a letter to his secretary that he want's sent to his wife to explain that he plans to leave her.

Yeah, they may be some help.  I was going to mention them, but did not see any XL250 parts mentioned on their site.

Maybe these guys could rewind your old one it might be worth a call.
