Directional Gyro for 231 needed

[FlyWalt]

Hi guys,

Our family bird is at Avon Park for its annual shake down. I had reported to Phil that the factory original DG was going south quickly and he agreed with me.

I wonder if anyone has a serviceable on your shelf that you would like to part with.

i realize that everyone is going to tell me to install an Aspen. However, due other priorities for our cash this year I have decided to form the UCB Club :-)

Can you just send it out for O/H?

What's in there now? Does it need to have a heading bug?

Yes it needs to have a heading bug for the Century 4

This is what I have:







It is the same one listed on this site: http://www.sigmatek.com/pages/prod_description/PD_DG_autopilot.html

And on this one: https://www.mcico.com/directional-gyros-4/1u262-003-14-1u262-003-14

I used it with my STEC 60-2 AP. Working when I removed it to upgrade to an Aspen. Needed the Aspen because I had nothing to drive the GTN output.

Not sure what the value is. I can check with Sanford and see what he would sell it for.

Just last week I sold a core 52D54 (4000C series) on eBay for $220 shipped, so thereabouts is the starting point.  I think they go for around $500 as used/serviceable. 

Jim - when said core, you mean non-functioning?

Chris,

I usually get around $500 or more for these on Ebay if they are in decent working order.

I found an exact replacement. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.
