Bohli compass operation

Was wondering if anyone can describe their personal experiences with a Bohli compass. Did you like it was it easy to use? Eons ago I borrowed a glider that had a Bohli. I asked the owner why the compass acted so oddly, and he said "oh yeah, it needs to be sprayed with anti-static"! Seems areas of the top plastic view-plate (with the markings) would build up charge, and the little indicator ball would be attracted/repulsed from the charged areas! Made a really weird jumpy motion while thermalling - quite annoying. Likely only a problem in dry climates, but it was really not usable... No idea if they all have this issue or if the materials were improved. See ya, Dave
