Anyone have any leads, or any theywant to sell to make room in their garages?SteveOwings, MDchase143(at)aol.comRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Any instruments for sale?I have a collection in my shop that I have yet to verify, unfortunately only the DG is ancient the other are either nos or hand me downs. I will not be willing to part with any until I get my panel figured out and populated to suit my needs. Once I get past that part I can make the leftovers available just nothing right now.JohnIn a message dated 12/4/2009 2:07:46 P.M.

If you want a specific look to your instruments, this company does that. I've never used them, it's just something I've heard of.http://www.precisiondial.com/capabilities.aspIf you want WW II instruments, they are available, keep looking. They are generally longer and heavier and more durable than current analog gauges, which you can still buy. If you wanted WW I gauges, they are sometimes available, and are usually considerably larger in diameter than the more standard gauge sizes.WW I and immediately postwar WW I aircraft did not include all the gauges we now consider necessary. Airspeed indicators were a luxury, and instead of oil pressure gauges they'd have a pulsator tube. Generally, no compass, either. Their instrument panels were no larger than a Pietenpol's and the larger sizes of instrument back then limited them. Also, there would sometimes be a map-holder on the panel, taking up more space.David Paule ________________________________________________________________________________
