If you find one you can use I'd love to hear about it - mine doesn't work all that well either. - Geoff ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 02:10:13 PM PST US From: Bruce Smith Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: AA5x/AG5B Type Certificate Data Sheet: A16EA tests=FROM_HAS_MIXED_NUMS, FROM_HAS_MIXED_NUMS3 --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Bruce Smith Just think of all the turboprop engines that fit in that catagory!

I tried the P/N 0144 panel dimmer from Aircraft Spruce. It has no OFF position. It goes from dim to bright and dim isn't that dim.

Just try doing a Google search on Rheostats for Certified aircraft. There seems to be an STCd rheostat for Cessnas. I'm still looking.. ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 11:09:09 PM PST US From: Gil Alexander Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Rheostat Dimmer switch --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Gil Alexander Gary.....From the A/C Spruce description.... "All necessary accessories are provided, including pre-fabricated wiring harness assembly and/or mating D-subminiature connector plug; control potentiometer with On/Off switch. " The ON/OFF switch should be built into the control potentiometer..... it should fit in the existing hole, and use the Grumman knob.... Is this not correct? As far as dimness goes... what rating device did you try? The lowest seems to be 7.2 Amps, and I think the Grumman is only about 2 to 4 Amps. Did you try a heavy duty parallel resistor to put some extra load on the device? ... one of 4 to 5 ohms and 40 watts would do... I know this sort of sucks, but look at the big, ugly resistor behind the ELT...: ) gil in Tucson At 11:27 PM 1/14/2004, you wrote: >--> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: FlyinFever@aol.com > > >In a message dated 01/14/04 10:02:06 PM, gilalex@earthlink.net writes: > > > > http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/akdimmer.php > > > >Thanks, but, I think the owner wants something more like the original.
