Yes, my pilot friend concurs. Here's what he says:
That is a CDI, A course deviation indicator. Or a related HSI (horizontal
situation indicator). It is connected to the VOR radio. The anaog versions have
a needle that swings left or right to indicate if you are left or right of your

No. This is the 'artificial horizon indicator' from an aircraft. Please
see my earlier post regarding VOR, indicators. Ira

You're in luck. I just happen to be an FAA certified pilot. I'd almost
stake my life on it that this is the display from a VOR (Vhf Omni Range)
instrument panel display, used for aircraft navigation. My Cessna has
two of the older style, non electronic type in it. It's a dead give away

Clearly, it was made in 1976. That's what the PCB date code 2276 and the white
stamp 7644 both say. It's a rather unique part, probably part of some
direcitonal system as you say. I'd imagine it to be a really expensive gizmo, as
microprocessors were very new back then. Which makes
This 'part number spam' is common for just about any electronic part number ever
published in the last 50 years. I see it when searching for vintage
semiconductors, milling machine controllers, display tubes, whatever.
I assume that there's some hidden economy of pay-per-click that causes this

Exactly that.
Main way to tell is that you always have to RFQ and/or request details.
Most of these sites never list a price since they are more likely to get
your email addy when you request a price.

Since i'm always looking for nixies for my collection, i often see
websites, Nixies in Stock, but declared as "ELECTRON TUBES" along with alot
of strange numbers and texts and sometimes in very large quantity like
"340pcs"..
I only can locate these sites when searching for eg. "B-5991" tube...

Thanks for sharing.
