We have restored our Do28 D-2 to flying condition here in Nevada but can’t say the same for the compass system. Currently trying to find the gyro amplifier (p/n 2585424) or drawings for its made-in-U.K. Sperry C-2G compass system (we have wiring, control head, and flux valve all installed).
Any thoughts would be welcome. If we had the repair manual, perhaps we could adapt a later model to work in its place.

OK, here’s a photo or two now that we’ve been flying the plane for a few years. We got the compass sorted out, finally finding a remote gyro and a shop in Teterboro, NJ to check it out. It turns out to be a great plane, 140 kts on 40 gph and can carry a ton. Literally. With fuel. -John

Hi John, you might try here:

They should be able to help you or point you in the right direction, maybe there are some surplus parts available? (I do not know any more but that such an organisation exists, sorry.)
Michael
P.S.: They most certainly speak English as well.
Or maybe here:

They did several conversions to Walter turboprops. Maybe parts from non- airworthy airframes?
