Default 3 1/8" altimeter needed

I have plenty of new, overhauled and used instruments here including several
types of altimeters all in stock all the time.
Just be very careful buying older used instruments like ASI's VSI's and
Altimeters, many contain radium paint on the dials and with the recent
restrictions normally cannot be repaired and legally cannot even be shipped
anymore....most repair shops will even charge you for disposal if you send
them in for repair. Even if the dials do not glow in the dark this is not
necessarily an indication if they do or do not have radium dials. This small
bit of radium isn't likely to cause cancer or make you lose your manhood,
but it is like with so many new regulations gonna cost you if they are found
to be improperly disposed of.

There are literally a hundred altimeters for sale on eBay. Caveat
emptor.
