Replacing AI with rebuilt one (too long to wait for G275)

[joepilotmooney]

Hi, can anyone confirm the model number for a rebuilt AI for my 78 M20J, would be 52D66? It's only $750 from AQI in Kansas, so it has roll output, but no pitch...this because it needs to IF to my Cent 2B and 430 non waas. My AI is acting up so want to replace it with rebuilt, since it's quickest.  Thanks.

This guy(Bob at Aero Lab Aviation is supposed to be really good at overhauling and does them quickly as there are not as many these days, i was quoted good price, ended up installing a GI275 but he came highly recommended.

See if @Alan Fox can help in this case (M20J attitude indicator…)

Alan may know the model number, and may have alternatives…

That sounds right.   The 52D67 has both roll and pitch output, and that is also a 5000-E5.   There are some equivalent part numbers that will work, but I don't remember them off the top of my head.    FWIW, you can get servicable units on e-bay for a few hundred.   I bought a replacement with both pitch and roll output for $250 a while back so I could do some A-B testing and it worked the same as my existing unit.   I've since installed a second G5.
