Hey guys, I need some help on this one. My stock airspeed gauge really did die. Had to tap on the glass to make sure it read right, as soon as you tapped on the glass it would change from 70 to 55 ect. I sent it to one shop in Seattle, then another in the midwest, both said its gone.

I like the front panel, it glows in the dark and is like new. Just does not work. guess I need to buy a new one. I know you guys can tell me where the best place to get one and what type to get. I want a good one. Thanks

Bill

Bill-
No shop is going to touch a dial with radium on it, if that's what you meant by glows in the dark. It's a legal liability they won't deal with.

Merrill Field Instruments in Anchorage, 907-278-5277 can recommend the best unit and will silk screen the airspeed arcs per the Cessna specs for your plane. Brian or Joe will do a good job.
