Where to send my turn coordinator for a rebuild?

Post by 51C170A »

The white background of my turn slip coordinator is now black making the black ball nearly impossible to see. I want to send it somewhere that does good work at a reasonable price. I was told my the A&P that it would probably cost somewhere in the $300 price range. Where is a good place to send it?

I've used Keystone Instruments in Lockhaven PA.
Very good service and quality work. Prices are very fair.
I've had them re-do my Airspeed, Altimeter and VSI two years ago. Good people.
I'm going to be sending them my DG in a month or so.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)

I second AQI...had all my instruments overhauled by them. Even took my attitude indicator back to them to reset the tilt, which they did at no additional charge.

Just for the record I think you will find just as many seconds for Keystone Instruments. Depends on where you live I suppose. I wouldn't bypass Keystone in Pa. to ship my stuff to Kansas. From Indiana you wouldn't be so AQ might make the most sense.
CAUTION - My forum posts may be worth what you paid for them!
