Stable, won't leak, lasts practically forever.

The GA version is slightly different in appearance from the "jet"
version (E2), but still uses a metal bellows and silicone fluid (beats
the crap out of mineral spirits and a rubber).

Don't work/sell for SIRS, just bang my head into their products every
once in awhile.

Funny thing is, have never bumped into a vertical card compass in a
jet...
