Harley <harley(at)AgelessWings.com> wrote with the answer to the "Eyeball Light

Question" So maybe he or one of the other cognoscenti on the list can help

with my query.

I have an (older) Airpath compass with MS17983-2 on the front. It has a

flip up hood at the top of the front which looks to be where a cylindrical

bulb should be inserted. It states that it is for 28v but I can see no

reason why 12v won't work. Is this a correct assumption and does anyone

know of a source/ part number for a 12v version of this which might work?

The back of the compass has a co-axial push on connection for the electrical

supply. Can anyone suggest a source / part number for this too?

Thanks

Morning, Rob...

That's me!

And, I'm in the same position you are...an airpath compass with no bulb

(to check the number of, so I can cross it's specs to find a compatible

12-14 volt version). And, at the moment, it's stored on a shelf down in

my hangar...about 25 miles from here, and freezing rain predicted for

today!

So, I ain't going nowhere.

So...a bit of time with Google (searching for Airpath compasses, then

repair parts) found the following:

330 - 14V Light Bulb <http://www.gyrohouse.com/catalog/items/item602.html>

14V Light Bulb - T 1-3/4 Midget Flange Base. .08 Amps

Cat No: 330 $3.00

334 - 28V Light Bulb <http://www.gyrohouse.com/catalog/items/item604.html>

28V Light Bulb - T 1-3/4 Midget Groove Base. .04 Amps

Cat No: 334

Now we both know!

Larry...

It appears you may have hit on something here.

After your post, I rechecked, "GyroHouse" and they do indeed list the

334 as the 28 volt bulb for the Airpath Compass. But, on checking the

configuration of the 334, it is a grooved base bulb...the 327 (which is

what you have) and the 330 are flanged bases.

Looks like GyroHouse may be selling the wrong bulb for a 28 volt system.

Harley,

I don't know what to say. I have two such

compasses and both have the same type of lamp.

One has no markings and one is marked GE327.

Both are "miniature". Both are "flange based".

I was unable to get to "lamps" in Gyrohouse so

I cannot look them up or go any furthur.

Hi, Larry...

I agree with you. I think Gyrohouse made an error in their listing of

the one. They do list the 334 (grooved base) as the 28 volt bulb for the

airpath compass!

After it warmed up a bit today, I took a trip down to the hangar and

took a look at mine...it is indeed a flanged base socket...a grooved

base bulb MIGHT work, but it would probably not have dependable contact.

Of course, Airpath may have used one like that in another of their

models, but I doubt it. Looks like the flanged base bulb is the one to

use. 327 for 28 volt, and 330 for 14 volt.

A little off topic, but points out the printed errors that can occur is

in a book that my son gave me for Christmas. The Encyclopedia of Civil

Aircraft. Covers everything from DaVinci to Rutan....lists Rutan's

Voyager as having a range of 9,600 miles! It really was a miracle non

stop around-the-world flight! <G>

>>I was unable to get to "lamps" in Gyrohouse so I cannot look them up

or go any furthur.<<

Here's where they list it...with the light socket.

`Harley, Agreed. I just found the Grainger site and went thru 9 pages of lamps. What I have is what the picture shows. It looks like you "we" could use either the GE382-14V-.08A-.3C (at)$1.26 or the GE330-(aircraft)-14V-.08A-.5C (at) $1.30. .2 more candeles for only 4 cents more, AND it says aircraft on it.

>>GE382<<

I like this one better for an additional reason....it has a life of

15,000 hours vs 4,000 for the 327!
