Vion Mroin Handbearing Compass

[peterN]

I have a ten year old Vion Morin 2000 had bearing compass. It works well but the illunination has now died. Does anyone know if the light source, I ithink it used to use a beta light but more recently some sort of phosphorous, can be replaced? If so, I would be grateful for a contact.

Seath Instruments...

I've used <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.seath-haztec.com>Seath Instruments</A> in Lowestoft. They repaired the Plath Venus compass from my 352 last year. Seem to be helpful and versatile, and not too expensive.

In contrast, some years ago I had great difficulty getting SIRS in Kent to complete a repair they'd started - it took months!

If you want it professionally repaired try BPSC Marine Services, Southampton on 023 8023 0045 or www.bpsc-marine.co.uk. It is the sort of thing that they repair.
I have no connection except as a satisfied customer.
