Getting instruments serviced

Instrument repairs etc

I work for a company that repairs and overhauls instruments of the era you’re talking about.
Can’t comment on the financial side I’m afraid as I only do the work. You could give our man in the office a ring if you wish;

01494 526301. Ask for Brian Wilkins

Whatever you do, don’t attempt to remove the luminous paint yourselves.

Contacting Bruce

Hi Bruce, I sent you a PM at end of January re contacting Philip Birtles.
Sorry to use this posting to tell you, but didn’t know how else to get in touch.
Thanks.
Geoff.

Its certainly possible, and is something I have been considering as well – also refacing some of the many indicators I have in Knots, to convert them back to MPH.

However, there isnt anyone yet set up to do it, though if you talk to Mike at Airtron, it is something he was looking at as well.

Kind regards

Bruce

Any idea if it is possible to have luminous instrument faces removed and replaced by good quality reproductions as used in some US rebuilds (example: the Butch Schroeder P-47 had it’s instrument dials replaced by new ones that looked similar?
