First off, good luck finding one. Fully 99% of them ended up on the scrap heap. The fastest one of I know of that failed was at a bicycle shop I was working at that sold them. The customer made is 1/3rd of the way home when it failed (he was dropped off at the shop to pick it up), and we had to replace it with a Sun Tour.
Secondly, if you do find manage to find one, don't mount it. Put it in a nice clear plastic case and keep it with the (I assume) restored to original Lambert. And install a 1973 vintage Sun Tour in its place, for actual riding. To say they're horrible is to be charitable.
