Sesteral ? hand bearing compass

[Boathook]

Does any one out there know where I can get mine serviced. The beta? night light has just about packed up making it impossible to use at night when trying proper old fashioned navigation etc. The GPS works fine but one day .......

In fact, they still make it. Apparently it is the NATO standard for adjusting aircraft compasses.

Wonderful things, aren't they?

My main compass is a Sestral Moore and I had to get a new light assembly, which is just a small moulded plastic light socket which clips in the bottom of the compass. Cost was £40 including VAT and carriage, 3 years ago. I thought that was a bit expensive, particularly as the quality of the fitting is not that good.
