timmer3AS Posted January 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2015 Afternoon, I found this on a recent trip to OKC. Even though it's just the face plate of a Sperry gyro horizon I thought it was worth it...and a lot lighter than the full instrument. The mechanics of moving the aircraft symbol on the inside are kind of interesting as well. Enjoy! - Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted January 3, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2015 will make a nice display piece...maybe mounted on a plaque, paint the black/white horizon on the plaque then mount???? kinda cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmer3AS Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted January 3, 2015 That would make fora a nice display I suppose...I was thinking maybe a picture frame. Then again I don't know what the radium would do to it over time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kquest Posted January 3, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, I have a similar instrument in my aircraft display. It would make a nice display piece. Good find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmer3AS Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted January 3, 2015 I like the small panels you've fabricated for your instruments. Oddly enough I picked up what I believe is the same type of radio compass you have displayed middle left. Very cool pieces...I'm a sucker for old instruments.

kquest Posted January 3, 2015 Share #6 Posted January 3, 2015 Hi, Yes, these are fun to collect and display. Too bad we don't have the plane to go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
