It has a bent needle but seems to indicate accurately. If your old one works, I would NOT open the system up and possibly create a new leak to fix an appearance problem. I thought mine might be leaking but was wrong. Morris has a "replacement" gauge that is much cheaper. I will say no more. bilbo ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Dickey" Subject: Commander-List: emergency gear extension gauge > --> Commander-List message posted by: "Scott Dickey" > > Hi Everyone, > > > I'm a new subscriber but I've been a "stealth surfer" for a while.

I still haven't dug into the engine on triple 2. It has been a really busy (but good) time. I am closing in on a deal on a pair of "0" engines. I am hopeful this will work out. I also bought the propellers that were on ebay. I am aware of several airplanes that need the "Heavy Hartzell" mod and hope having propellers ready to go will help owners get their airplanes back in the air. The good news is that at least three older Commanders will soon be in the air again!! A 680 in Tennessee, a 560E in Oregon and a 680E in CA all are being worked on and will soon be flying. This does not include Barry's 680E. There is also a 680 in Toppinish, WA that has just been painted and it to should fly later this year. Now that is a lot of augmented noise!! Can you imagine that flyby!! Hope all is well in your Commanderland. jb ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:06:32 AM PST US From: "Randy Dettmer, AIA" Subject: Re: Commander-List: N222JS --> Commander-List message posted by: "Randy Dettmer, AIA" Thanks JB for your "always" entertaining posts and updates from the land of Commanders. I enjoy those short breaks from the "hum drum" of work when my computer chirps, to find a "Commander message" in my inbox. Trips coming up for me are an Angel Flight & business trip down to SMO on Monday, and then San Diego on Christmas Eve with a return to SBP on 12/27...yippee. Hope the holiday season finds everyone well and "flying" in Commanderland.

By the way any one know of a good shop to send older sender's for the fuel quantity gauge. Or were a guy could find something new and improved. Getting most of my squawk list taken care of.

JB, I'm sure you're already aware (and probably dealing), but there's a "0-SMOH" IGSO-480 on ebay right now cs ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 09:01:16 PM PST US From: CloudCraft@aol.com Subject: Re: Commander-List: emergency gear extension gauge --> Commander-List message posted by: CloudCraft@aol.com In a message dated 12/11/03 20:41:08 Pacific Standard Time, jdickey@radictech.com writes: > Seriously, does anyone have a source for a comparable gauge?

I bet he has a solution for you that is better than 10% less than $831.25, although it may not meet the rest of your requirements. Wing Commander Gordon
