Brittain Repair

Hello All,

I want to offer a PIREP for some Brittain repair work I had done recently. We were having some issues with our Brittain components (Turn Coordinator, and AccuTrak). I contacted Bevan Rabell since they had done great work on legacy BK equipment for us. They indicated that they dont work on Brittain, but graciously pointed me to Porter Strait Instrument Co in Tulsa, OK. Upon contacting Porter Strait, I found out that they have a gentleman named Kevin who supports them on an as needed basis doing any Brittain repair work and that he is a former long time Brittain employee. They connected us with Kevin to evaluate our issues and identify instruments and model numbers before we sent anything in. We found Kevin to be incredibly knowledgable and also quite entertaining to talk to. He was intimately familiar with Brittain products by model number, description, functionality, common problem components (e.g., this capacitor typically goes bad, that valve usually needs cleaned and lubricated, cuz it gets stuck), etc. Longer story short, they inspected, cleaned, and repaired multiple pieces of Brittain equipment for a very reasonable price and in 1 to 1.5 weeks including round trip shipping. Kevin also educated us on some functionality and limits of the instruments we were unfamiliar with (or had forgotten). Bottom line, if you are having problems with your Brittain components, I highly recommend Kevin at Porter Strait. We were very pleased with the experience.
