I have a beautiful compass, that I was told was made in Germany. Its a Temn KR16. It has beautiful workmanship and is unquiet in that it is self leveling (It acts like an horizon). It needs repair but I have not been able to find the company that either builds or place that know anything about it here in the US. Can any of you 'over there' tell me anything about it or maybe where to get it fixed. It was a gift and I can't seem to be able to set it level with adjustment screws. The company that imported it has not had relation with the German company for over 7 years.

I have all three of mine out, one twice in the last 18 years. They are a bitch!! I disconnected the the actuators from the gear legs and disconnected the upper actuator attach bolts from the wing. On the 52 there is practically no access and I did it all with fingers alone. The upper attach bolt is secured with a castle nut and cotter pin. I was able to straighten the cotters with my fingers and then used an angled needle nose to pull the cotter pins, The castle nuts spun off by hand. You will have to do it all mostly by feel if it is anything like the 52. Not Fun. Good luck and it will improve your dexterity with magic tricks.

Yo u will bust your engine bigger than shit....I know from experience.
