Oshkosh and Sun 'n' Fun have any number of vendors selling used instruments.
Ebay is also a good source (where I bought most of mine). Look under
aviation parts in eBay Motors.

I see many of you are obtaining used instruments for your birds.
Where does one shop for used aircraft VFR flight instruments? New would be
nice, but I'm broke with a big desire to keep building... :)
Thanks for the secret store location. It's safe with me...

Mark, I bought an altimeter, oil pressure gauge, and oil temperature gauge
from people on this list. The compass came from E-bay. Had to buy the
airspeed indicator and tachometer new. Got the Stewart Warner tach and the
tooth-counter type pickup. Hope all those used instruments work. Haven't
gotten quite far enough along to check them out. C

What Jack said. I bought all mine except the airspeed in the rear cockpit on Ebay.
I bought it new from ACS(cheapie). The used one in the front is more accurate

I had exactly the same experience, Jerry. The altimeter in my rear cockpit
was a new one from ACS. The one in the front cockpit is an old used
Kollsman model I bought on ebay for $22. It is much more accurate than the
new one.

Check around your field or EAA chapter... a lot of the old timers have drawers
full of this stuff. Plus, with the glass instruments becoming so prominent there
are a lot of perfectly good instruments laying around for cheap. If you put
the word out, things will show up.
So far I have an airspeed indicator, single hand altimeter an old primer from a
BT-19 (Wagner I think) and a 1916 S.E.5a clinometer (cast from an original),
all for the very affordable price of ZERO dollars. Many of the older builders
enjoy helping another builder, and I think some of them are actually starting
to realize that they'll never have a need for ALL those old instruments.

On most certified aircraft (I have an old Vtail Bonanza) it is now cheaper to
replace all instruments with a basic glass cockpit than to go with those old fashoned
"Steam Guages." However for me it is still not cheaper to replace a steam
guage than it is to repair a steam guage. But that is changing, There are
slowly becoming fewer and fewer shops that repair old steam guages.
This may result in a lot of steam guages being availaible for classics like the
Piet.

You could go electronic but it will change the looks of the cockpit.
I may try to replace my steam guage Artificial Horizon with a Dynon D1 portable
panel (a fancy Glass AH) It is as portable as a handheld GPS
http://dynonavionics.com/docs/D1_Intro.html
The Dynon D1 will provide a Artificial horizon, GPS based track, altitude, and
ground speed and a skid ball.
also of interest is a Trutrack Artificial horizon and PFD

Thanks guys!
Didn't even think of ebay... Doah!
And Mark... It was cuz I was surfing your build site that I saw the instruments
you have and posted the question :D I thought "where's he getting these anyway?"
So, I will surf ebay and my local EAA buddies.
Good stuff. Thanks again!
