Well, it looks like my directional gyro just went belly up. When I went
for a ride today, the setting knob was very sticky, and then suddenly not
sticky at all as it now rotates freely and doesn't feel like it is
engaging anything. The gyro card does not rotate with the knob.

I have a Cherokee with a heading tracking Autocontrol III autopilot.

What are opinions regarding having it rebuilt as opposed to replaced?

A bit off, but this is a good summary:
