Fuel gauge for sale

[Edsel]

Vintage 1986 according to an internal date stamp, it illuminates (and dims) with 5VDC.  Bingo knob works, all servos/synchros to drive the counters and left tape are there (though I can't test them), the right tape has no servo/synchro.  I can manually set counters as desired -currently set to full fuel load.  I'll repaint the case and knob to as-new standards (former USAF avionics tech).

Make offer.

Spin the bingo knob around and tell us if it is really a pain in the ass to set like in DCS, I'm really curious about that!

My friend Dariush is very interested, provided you can ship internationally.  Actually if you have 78 more where that came from he'll pay top rial dollar.

 

 

 

Aside: are we actually allowed to have buy/sell/trade threads in this forum?  Perhaps I misread the rules.

Yeah, what the hell is up with that anyway? I never use the bingo knob for this reason.

I have heard it claimed that the real one worked that way as you see ingame in DCS... So since this guy actually has one, I'm curious if he can confirm that behavior or does he observe a different behavior?

 

I too, try not to use the Bingo knob for this very reason as well... Such a pain to move from 4,000 to 8,000 for example.

Mate,

If shipping to Aus is a possibility, I'd be happy to make you an offer. It will look amazing in the Turkey Pit I'm building. 

 

Cheers,

Mumbles.

Good question about the bingo knob!  I have the answer.

One revolution of the knob changes bingo by 1000.  It's very quick to dial a large change.

Heatblur should take note and reduce the ratio quite a bit, maybe one roll of a mouse wheel or 2 seconds of VR thumb stick actuation to dial 1000 lbs would be good.

 

Speaking of fuel, I have a question.  On the engine condition instrument, what do the white guide range bars along the top and bottom of fuel flow refer to?  Suggested operating zones for what regime of flight?

I was wondering the same thing too about the hash marks, they are top and bottom

Last time it was asked turned out these were some metal mounting stuff.
