compass rebuild

[dparilla]

I have a globemaster compass. Last year, a broken throttle linkage broke one of the brass compensator rods. Does anyone know how to go about getting a replacement short of going to a compass service location? I have several years experience calibrating and swinging compasses, just need the east west compensator.

Perfect.... they had the parts in stock. Much more palatable pricing than I expected. Mahalo!

MaineSail should be able to assist you with this.

Dan...

FWIW, Viking rebuilt my compass last year for a very reasonable price. Easy people to work with.

Thanks. If the comp rod doesn't fix it, I will send it to them.
