Maybe you can get an identical used one off ebay and cannibalize it for the
faceplate? Jay Honeck wrote: Jay, as long as you know which end of the soldering iron to hold, you can follow Jim's instructions and build one of his kits and it will work. Ow! Ow! Ow! Whoops, wrong end... ;-) Ah, hell, I suppose if I can build a fuel truck (ain't never done THAT before, neither!), I can build an audio panel, too. Trouble is, all I *really* need is the stupid faceplate. Narco wants TWO HUNDRED BUCKS for this stupid plastic faceplate! Augh! Sometimes I hate aviation, God help me... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.

the faceplate? I've been watching. Cheapest I've seen is $165... Still a bit rich for a stupid piece of plastic, IMHO... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Of course, if you *want* a new audio panel, you'll just have to get it, I guess, but wouldn't that ($2500 - $165 =) $2335 pay for your "Mighty Grape" and all of its acoutrements? -- Aaron Coolidge (N9376J) |

Or buy one that costs more; it don't signify. Glue your faceplate together and swap faceplates. Then put the one you just bought right back on Ebay. With your old facplate. Who knows; you might actually make a profit on the deal. George Patterson Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is "Hummmmm... That's interesting...." |

How much extra would it be for one that does not play "the Marseilles"?
"Dennis O'Connor" wrote in message ... I'm not totally up to speed on this thread, but reading between the lines of your post Jay - there are companies that advertise to the airplane homebuilders to make custom panels, inserts, faceplates, engravings, etc., etc. Just look in the back of your EAA, Sport Flying you are a member, of course Ayund, your local sign shops may also offer such services... Look also to trophy shops who make various plaques, etc... Jeez, too hunnert bucks should get you one that lights up, blinks, and plays the Marseilles when you transmit... denny "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:TIcRb.27547$U% Trouble is, all I *really* need is the stupid faceplate.

In article , "Paul Sengupta"
writes: Jay, as long as you know which end of the soldering iron to hold I guess people learn this one rather quickly. Back in my working days, one of the techs about once a month would get a burned palm on one. With the small iron in its holder (not in use) the cord would hang down in a loop. Pick up the iron (while concentrating on the work) and if the cord catches on something (like a drawer pull), the iron stops while the hand keeps moving toward the work. The autoreflex is to grab down on the iron as it slides out of your hand letting you grip the hot barrel for a split second while the brain (or spine) figures you should let go. Chuck |
