Finally I find it, from left to right and all the way down I built. no longer gracing this site but had to share..

I suppose I can pass this as a relic..

A flight adjust should always be performed after an attitude gyro "change" and is very likely to correct that issue. I can help there also! A slow dutch roll can be caused by a few things, If offsetting the rudder settles the oscillation, it it is "loading" the system to one side. This means...

WOW did I get poofed? The more you know about that system the cheaper it will be to fix it...

That looks like a remote cable type set up there, I would guess it ties that indicator to a large box that crunches God knows what information.

I'm still looking for that picture, finally came across this old jewel. I was in Grand Junction for decades, I now live in Michigan to get away from the heat and close to the water.

I removed this a while back..

I believe that gyro model number is DH 841A. If you knew how the servos work in an M4D system you would understand some of the reliability issues.. That's a cool old relic in good shape, what is it?

DH 841A I would wager

What was your first GPS?

Obviously installed aftermarket, you will probably destroy it to remove it. Grab it with a pair of duckbill pliers and pull it out, you'll probably need to cut some tyraps to allow the wire length needed to pull it out and work with it. I would suggest twisting it back and forth before pulling...

Who can Identify this old gear and has anyone seen one that was in this good of shape?

That picture is of a sixties vintage Cessna, my best guess. Before the ribbon cables were used I believe. I always preach using a quality "curly cord" instead of replacing the "concealed wiring providing unrestricted movement of the yoke" that has been a pain in the keister for every Cessna...

What does the top of that yoke horn look like, what year is the aircraft, and what autopilot is installed? Does it have manual electric trim?

Why does it have to be endorsed by the FAA to be a good idea. Personally I think the FAA is rather incompetent I remember a time when an FAA guy would nearly faint when he would see how far we were into a project, they would step away with very few questions. I learned to stage it for the...

Som Somebody needs to give this guy $1000.

Very well stated, I've seen plenty of fuses fail without blowing. I've collected enough gently used pullable aircraft breakers to replace the fuse holders in my offshore boat, now if I just had the time...

Give that man a cigar!! He was from India. The story was, when they crossed thru India, the rest of the pack was vectored around;)

A circuit breaker is far more convenient to reset, and yes it should be replaced after the offending component that tripped it enough to justify it, is remedied. I just had a Client equate the cost of a repair I assisted him with to "a tank of gas", he was elated. Maintaining a breaker under...

I was always taught to provide an install print, this is a very early Webair provided print!
