Starter Cable & Pioneer Compass Light-connector

[vcavu]

I am looking for a 1954C170B starter cable. Does anyone have one for sale. Also I need a electrical connector for the back of my Pioneer compass to get the compass light to illuminate>

Here’s what you want, if you’re seeking a “pull cable” for the original starter: https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/a ... ey=3012342

Log it as a “minor alteration”.

I'm replacing the pull starter on my '51 A model with a B&C starter this winter. I'm guessing I might not need this cable any more, but I'm not 100% sure on that yet. Will know in the next few weeks. If you find that an A model cable will work for you, feel free to reach out and I'll look into whether mine is available or not.

What is the model number of the compass? Does the receptacle look like this or does it have threads?

If the receptacle looks like the one pictured, Lance Aircraft Supply sells the connector plug you’re seeking for $45. I wonder if a RCA plug would work … doubt it.

From what I’ve read, many of the Bendix/Pioneer compasses use a GE-323 bulb which is a 3V / 0.19A bulb. The C-170 calls for a 10 watt, 60 ohm resistor in the compass light circuit. I don’t think that will work with a GE-323 bulb. Others might “enlighten” us to what resistor would be appropriate.
