You can search for my post “Stupidly Simple Boost Pump Switch Repair” and likely fix it yourself.

You access the bulbs exactly as Jake describes. They simply plug into sockets on the front of the unit. The hardest part is getting the static line off if it has not been disconnected recently. The rubber will be old and not want to slide off the metal tube on the computer. Mouser part number 606-CM7376 will work. They are currently less than $2.00 each if you buy ten. It might be a good idea to simply replace them all at the same time.

The short version of my story is that I wanted to purchase two new main gear shock links. I have in prior years bought parts from the factory by calling them directly. The current policy is to order through a MSC only. My service guys had in the past just called Lasar for price and delivery of factory parts. This time the phone went directly to an answering machine when they called. The same happened when I called. The message said to email parts requests. I did this but was a bit unsatisfied with this method given my plane was sitting on jacks in the hanger at the time. While awaiting a reply I discovered Dugosh had one of these new old stock on eBay. I called to ask if they happened to have a second one. They answered the phone on the first ring and told me they had only one. They checked factory stock for me while I was on the phone and gave me a quote. Further they offered to walk across the ramp to the factory to pick it up for me and ship it in the same box with the one they had available. You can't ask for more than that, I thought. The new one cost $1485 plus a bit of freight which is a lot. Lasar sent me an answer four days after my inquiry. They offered to sell me exactly the same part (as in the same exact physical one sitting on the factory shelf) for over $1800! So my experience was this: Lasar took four days to answer and marked up the factory price more than 20%. Dugosh answered instantly, shipped the part at once, and charged me a bit over the factory list price. They even apologized for not being able to box it up in time for UPS pickup the same day. Given the above it will be an easy choice who to call first when I need factory parts next. To be fair, I did not call every MSC for a quote and I would hope there are others who answer the phone. Don Maxwell was nice enough to tell me that both that the part was heat treated and not repairable and that he did not have any in stock. I only called Dugosh because they had one advertised. It does seem to me that they have a huge advantage over other MSC given they can see the factory from their hanger. Your experience may be different but I would suggest you consider Dugosh if you need factory parts.

I have to say it … $230 EACH for a lightbulb is not cheap. Also when you get into the wingtip you will discover they are actually a bit fiddly to replace. Several years ago I and others made our own as documented on postings here. I do not recall the exact cost but it can not have been more than $50 total for two. I think the home made variety are just as bright as well. I just can’t get past the thought it is just a low power, non critical, not at all special, solid state, LIGHTBULB. Landing and taxi lights, I gritted my teeth and bought aircraft variety. But $230 for a recognition light bulb? I could not have done it even if they had been available. They will doubtless still sell a lot of them.

I am looking for a source of two serviceable shock link assemblies, 520010-501 as part of my landing gear repair.

All four books are available on Kindle Unlimited for free. You can read them on your iPad and decide if you need a hard copy. Kindle Unlimited is about $10 a month.

Yes, I am looking for some instruction not a book course.

Any recommendations?

Precisely the same in my ‘96 J. Which means when your stall warning fails on a long cross country and sounds continuously you will have to pull the stall warning AND gear warning breakers to make it stop. Ask me how I know …

My factory gauges read perfectly with the bladders. The tanks do fill more slowly as mentioned above.

A good solution to this problem is use of Caig Deoxit. It is really expensive and really amazing. A two pack of the 2ml squeeze tube is $14 on Amazon. I have used it in a variety of applications with uniformly remarkable success including RV trailer Bargman plugs, every known amateur radio connector, and the control electronics for 4 and 15 meter diameter telescopes. It also does not retain dirt like Vaseline.

I won this in a raffle and have no use for it. It is in the original box with all the accessories and instruction manual. These include a headset adapter, 12v charger adapter, and a AA battery tray as well as the Lithium-Ion battery. $200 via PayPal shipped in the USA

Sadly I had to cancel my planned trip for this year. I have the following for sale: Camp Scholler Weekly Camping Ticket beginning on Sunday ... $180 Payment by Paypal and I will ship them via Priority Mail. I hope someone can make use of these.

Trim servos are hard to find but surely you mean $900 not $9000! What model is it?
