  1. Yeah I tried having mine overhauled and the shop told me it was too far gone. I’ll holler if the other leads don’t work out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I’m almost to that point. I’ve got a lead on two clusters right now. Will know more in a day or two. I’ll visit my mechanic on Friday to see what his schedule is like. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Well, I just dropped 25amu on the panel. My CFO says I'm broke now!! lol I did have the avionics shop cut a spot for an EDM-900 and put a face plate over it. I plan on doing the EDM-900 later this year. At this point, I honestly wish that I'd went ahead and had them install the EDM.
  4. Yeah, I checked BAS website and they have some Garwin instrument clusters but they don't have the right part numbers. Lasar has the part on their site but not in stock. If I could find some original Garwin documentation I might be able to determine interoperability but I don't want to spend the $$ for something I don't know if it will work or not.
  5. So far I'm not impressed with Texas Air Salvage. They have a Garwin engine cluster that I think will work. I've called twice, talked to someone both times. They told me they'd call me back but I've never received a call. Also, they indicate that the cluster gauges may or may not work and they aren't returnable. I contacted a seller on ebay about one they have listed, no contact back. The search continues and the frustration level increases.......
  6. This might be the ticket. I think my searches were too specific.
  7. Yeah, those look to be the same as the one I have and I'll look into getting one of them. However, my concern is that the one I pulled out of my plane is a Garwin 169C-910-11 and all the ones I've seen at LASAR, BAS, salvage places, etc are Garwin 169D-910-11. I'm not sure of the difference between the "C" variant and the "D" variant and if there would be any compatibility issues. While I'd absolutely love to go ahead and put in the JPI 900 that I plan on doing later in the year, I just dropped $$ on a panel upgrade and I'm not sure if my CFO (wife, aka better 2/3) would be too positive toward spending the extra $$ right now lol.
  8. Well crapola as my dad used to say. I sent my oil temp indicator to Rudy Aircraft Instruments and they called me Tuesday to let me know that it is too far gone and can't be overhauled. So, I'm now earnestly searching for a replacement for a Garwin 169C-910-11. I called Mitchell Products and the sales guy that I talked too and gave the above part number too gave me their part number that he said would replace my indicator. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to know what he was talking about. The Garwin gauges are modular and square and the replacement part number he gave me wasn't even close to being a replacement. So if anybody has a Garwin 169C-910-11 laying around, let me know?
  9. I looked around for replacement units but couldn’t find them. Can you share a source? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Went to the airport today and the oil temp was showing 150 after sitting for over 24 hours. Obviously oil temp wasn't that high in reality. Tapped on the housing of the indicator (not on the glass) and the reading came down to about 80. Ambient temps today are around 60. Should I send it off to have it overhauled or should I fly it and see what happens? If send for overhaul, who should I send it too? Looks like Rudy's also overhauls Oil temp gauges, I'll give them a call but open to other recommendations. Looks to me like the part number is 169C-910-11?? Looks like there is or used to be another digit/character to the left of the C maybe?
  11. Yeah I’m gonna go check the oil temp probe and the connections to the indicator this afternoon. I got a full panel done so I agree and think the most likely scenario would be the connection to the indicator since the whole cluster was removed and reinstalled. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Oil pressure may have been a couple psi lower but still within normal range for what I typically see. Oil pressure was about 74-75 and I typically see just below 80. No winterization. The oil temperature needle was kinda bouncing off redline, from about 230-250 from what I recall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
