| Subject: | Swing a Hamilton compass? |
Hi guys,- I removed the Hamilton Instruments, vertical card, magnetic com
pass from my KF lll. It was off by 20 degrees. I've read nearly all of the
proceedures for swinging it: set North, take out half of error at South, sa
me with East and West.- I can set any two adjacents but the opposites are
off by 20 -25 degrees.- I've spent hours in my front yard and can get no
closer than about 12 degrees all around.- The screws have no markings th
at're supposed to point to 9 O'Clock. I can't imagine that it's broke. One
thought was that a gear got jumped, somehow.- I'm ready to take it apart
but don't know if what I find will be self-evident. Do you think there'll b
e alignment marks inside? Anyone know how to contact a technician who works
on them?- They went out of business a while ago. A new one is incompatab
le with my finances.- Thanks, guys.- Larry

I think it's a lot more likely that the steel tubing near it is
magnetized and causing the errors. Search the list archives and you'll
find a lot of discussion from folks who have tried, successfully and
not-so-successfully, to degauss their fuselages.
I had a vertical card compass in mine that worked pretty well. I tried
to mount it as far as possible from any tubes.

A new one is incompatable with my finances. Thanks, guys. Larry
