I did a search on Mooneyspace and saw you had a spinning compass card on your NSD 360 HSI. Mine did that last week and then recovered. Did you find a solution short of a complete rebuild?

$10K US is $13K Cdn plus 13% sales tax = $15K Cdn (and no idea about duty $$ ) plus install, which I believe can be north of $5K Cdn.... that's $20K (at best)
Absolutely out of the question. Many NSD 360A rebuilds for that. I already replaced my existing NSD 360A for a serviceable used one 1 week after buying my plane 2 years ago. Since then I've had to overhaul the Century 2000 autopilot and then the Garmin 430 went up in smoke (literally) which required me to upgrade to WAAS ($$$!) and much much more. With fixed expenses and much more repairs since, I've been spending about $20K Cdn for EACH of the last 2 years. The additional variable expenses of fuel and oil changes are quite frankly lost in the rounding by comparison.
At 100 hours per year and Canadian gas prices, I'm averaging about $300 per hour. Rather than going for an Aspen, I'm close to throwing in the GA towel completely.
There.... I've vented and feel better already...

Mulhouse ? Wow. One of the most incredible auto museums I've ever been to. Not to mention the rail museum.

Don't worry, we do our best every summer to support the French vintners. A few years ago, our theme was to visit car museums and collections while on that particular cycling vacation.
Nice Peugeot museum a days ride away in Sochaux also. Managed to get a drive in a 1908 (?) model (not sure of model year)
