View Full Version : Compass repair


January 7th 19, 09:32 PM
I thought I would give this one more shot.... I have a Bohli compass and it works but the very fine wire that attaches to the gimbal base broke off. I have removed the compass from the glider and looked it over. I don’t have the wire part or skills to fix/ reattach a new wire to the gimbal mont.

Are there any repair shops or services that I can call on for repair. The guy in Switzerland but no response. I can replace it with a another type but really like the compass. Any suggestions?

DC-

It's a long shot, but you might try contacting UMA Instruments.(umainstruments.com) They manufacture some really nice aircraft instrumentation and are reportedly very nice, helpful people who take pride in customer service. From what I have seen in articles and on their website, they may be the type of folks who could either evaluate and repair your compass or steer you in the right direction.
