I have a vertical card compass in my J. Picture attached. We did some recent panel work and the glare shield was removed. After picking the plane up we noticed that the compass did not read correctly. Presumably the displacement was caused when the compass was hit when removing the glare shield. I know the little white balls on each side help "balance" the compass because of the amount of metal int he Mooney, but I am not sure exactly how to re-calibrate the compass. There are two small screws in the bottom of the compass card that I assume are used to re-calibrate. Is this something I can do or do I need a mechanic. If I can do it, any helpful hints, youtube video of this being done or other suggestions are welcome.

After installing and calibrating my PAI-700 vertical card compass (and being a bit anal to detail), I duplicated the old circa 1981 card and sized it to fit under the old plastic cover. I thought I would share the file for anyone that might have swapped out their wet compass and installed a PAI-700 or other style compass and have the same plastic cover type mount. I would ask if anyone knows a source for the plastic cover itself, as you can see mine is a bit discolored from the years...I would love to replace it. I've attached some pictures of the project.

Has anyone installed a Precision Avionics, Inc. PAI-700 with the PACMO-VMN custom mount? Lighting 28V, 14V, 5V, or no light? Would the PAI-700 with the PACMO-VMN box section windscreen divider mount and 14V lighting be an appropriate replacement for the windscreen-mounted and lighted whiskey compass in my 1966 M20C S/N:3261?

I'm based at KTBN in east-central Missouri. Can anyone recommend a nearby authorized repair station to install and swing a new vertical card magnetic compass to replace the faltering windscreen divider mounted "whiskey" compass in my 1966 M20C? A nearby airport with a surveyed and calibrated compass rose? Master compass? Transit-pelorus? Advice? Concerns?

My old liquid compass is leaking and not viable anymore. I want to replace the old compass with a vertical card compass instead of repairing the old one. Before I buy a new one, does anyone have a still functioning vertical card they want to sell for less than a new one including the Mooney center bar mount. Thanks
