Default Cambridge Vario CAV 50 model - stuck at 2 kts up

My Vario shows 2 kts up when I turn it on. Hasn't done this before.
Any suggestions?

Look to see if the meedle is hanging up on the label inside the face
plate. Common on CAV 50's

Thanks UH - doesn't appear to be the problem. Good thing Cambridge
headquarters are 15 minutes down the road from me. I'll take it over
to them today.

Hi,

It won't hurt to ask, Jeff Bennett at Cambridge is a nice guy. But I don't
think he'll know anything about your old Cambridge vario.

I recommend contacting Gary Kammerer at ClearNav. I'm sure his contact data
is available on their web site at: www.clearnav.net.

If Gary doesn't know, try Dickie Feakes in the U.K. His web site is:
http://www.bas.uk.net/ He was selling and supporting Cambridge products
during that era and is very helpful and knowledgeable. He has many old
Cambridge manuals available for download on his web site.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde
