Looked it up and that instrument is hardly "cheap" . . . it's roughly
$1500! You got quite a good deal. Looking further, I see Falcon is
making a huge array of instruments and their website indicates a strong
service and warranty section so it's clear my thinking of them as just a
low budget Chinese outfit is out of date. If that instrument acts up any
more and the overhaul price is reasonable it might be a good option just
to get it refurbished. It's not a lighted instrument, but a little
ingenuity in lighting is easy enough. I've used AutoZone LED accent
lights for those instruments that don't have interior lighting. Picture
attached. Important for night flying of course.
Forgot to mention in previous email that the TruTrak ADI 3" instrument
shows up on eBay once in a while as people upgrade their panels. They
usually go for $500 - $600 but with the deluge of low cost solid state
instruments that are showing up, I imagine they'll go even cheaper in the
future. I paid $1200 for mine from Gulf Coast, with the GPS option.
It's internally lighted and has been a joy to use.
