If you aren't too far away, the best service is at Century Systems in
Mineral Wells, TX (MWL) pretty close to DFW. We flew down and had them fix
our IIIB years ago for a reasonable price and they did a great job. They
even hooked up the Nav 2 selector to our M1 Loran.

Flew to dinner today with an outside temp of 10F. Auto pilot worked OK on
the
trip out (plane came out of a 45F hanger). Parked for dinner for about 2
hours. The autopilot didn't work on the way back. You could feel the
clutch
take hold but no corrective action to follow the bug. Simple roll control
didn't respond either. Well, about 20 minutes into the flight home, it
started
to work. OK all the way home.

So, is it on its last leg and I should pull it and see if I can get it
fixed?
Fixed where? Or is the low temperture (it was outside for 2 hours in 10F)
the
problem? If it's low temp, I'm tempted to let it go since I don't often
fly
there.

It is not very close (I'm in Ohio) but I"ll keep it in my bag of tricks. Might
be flying in that area before the winter is over.

I went out to the plane yesterday. Hanger temp about 40F. Autopilot worked
fine. My electronics guy at KCAK says watchful waiting. May be harbinger of
things to come or may have been that way for years and won't get worse.
