I have just acquired an early MK V altimeter that has been converted into a barometer, which I hope to be able to restore back to it’s original form. Does any one have any suitable manuals or drawings for this type of altimeter, or better still have any of the missing parts that I could either purchase or borrow for copying ?.
It was made by T.WHEELER of London, & has had the adjuster knob, gear, & outer dial ring removed “the one with the numbers on”.
Other conversions that I have seen, usually still have all the original parts, but with the dial re-painted, & have been modified inside.
Cheer’s.

While we’re on the subject of old instruments, does anyone have any ideas on removing the bezel on a MkIV ASI? I need to get to the spindle the pointer is mouted on but the bezel won’t turn.

Hi Robert
Only just seen your post “OOP’S”.
It looks like my altimeter was originally a MK V.
