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.

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.

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.

From: "K5YAC" 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. -------- Mark Chouinard Wings, Center Section and Empannage and Fuse framed up - Working on Landing Gear Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=391602#391602 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:03:36 AM PST US From: "Dortch, Steven D MAJ MIL USA NGB" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Where are you guys finding your 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. Blue Skies, Steve D 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 http://trutrakap.com/products/Pictorial_Turn_and_Bank.html Blue Skies, Steve D ----- Original Message ----- From: K5YAC Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Where are you guys finding your instruments? > > Check around your field or EAA chapter... a lot of the old timers have drawers full of this stuff.

From: "Mark Roberts" 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!
