"J" Airspeed eng. instruments etc.

Hi

Redid my panel a bit ago. I have an airspeed indicator P/N 820308-513 marked for a J worked great when removed. Also have a KEA-130 encoding altimeter, the complete engine gauge cluster, cooling fan, turn coordinator, VSI and anything else you may think of. Let me know. Shoot me an offer and we'll see if we can come to terms. 

Wishing you strong tail winds and clear skies.

Is the altimeter A KEA130A , Regards Alan...

My airspeed indicator glass is cloudy, and I would like to refurbish/replace it.  Can you post/send me a picture?

Consider an instrument shop for glass cleaning or repainting the instrument face.

Do you have any recommendations?

I've heard that some hangar elves are quite successful at cleaning instrument glass....

Ah-1,

fortunately, I have only sent out a few instruments in the last two decades... And that was before MS came into existence.  I used the ads in trade-a-plane to find an instrument shop and rolled the dice.  

If the hangar elves aren't up to the task, the local instrument shop should be pretty capable of this kind of work...

Sometimes you find the instrument looks really good, and a good cleaning of the glass is all it takes.

Other people have taken the opportunity to convert from mph to KIAS by using the instrument shop. Some restrictions apply, like the POH has to have the proper data to allow for it...(?)

Best regards,

I take it the hangar elves replace gaskets, too?  Or is there a gasket between the glass and the instrument body?

[N201MKTurbo]

They tell me there is paper gasket between the glass and the outer frame and a rubber gasket between the glass and main body of the instrument. They tell me if you are careful you can re-use them. If not, well it needed to go to the shop anyway.

A reseal with glass cleaning ~$50.

What do you want for the complete engine gauge cluster?
