[NA] Repolarizing a Compass [NA]

[Greg Bockelman]

I bought a cheapie compass, actually two of them, when I was in a to be unnamed communist country the other day. When I got them home, I realized they were reading 180 degrees off. Is there a way to re-polarize them so they read properly?

Stick a deviation card with it and press on. That sucks.

Yeah, eye level. It still reads 180 off. What are you doing in Vietnam?

 

[Sac Arrow]

Working.

Wait a minute, was that compass purchased in the Southern Hemisphere?

Install backwards, with the stc'd mirror in front of it.

Why does every conversation have to be so "polarized"? <- Now that's funny, right?

Cool compass. But after thorough research I've concluded:
