Description

RCAF Gyrosyn Compass C.L.2 by Sperry
One
Gryosyn Compass C.L. 2. Gyro Unit
(type a)
Pt. No. 15538-0 (6B/1992)
as manufactured by
The
Sperry Gyroscope of London
for use by RAF or RCAF as noted on metal data tag on rear of metal instrument housing. Probably late 1950s or early 1960s manufacturer.
This is a
4.5" panel mount
unit. The cabinet itself measures 5" x 5" x  8" roughly, measuring from connector end to knobs.
This unit came to us in a large lot of as-removed avionics. I suspect these had been stacked out in weather and not warehouse stored. This one appears to have been stored in a coastal climate as the front magnesium plate seems salt checked. Oddly, the instrument isn't locked up or weather compromised. I can move the SET COMPASS knob and the caging knob as well. This one would be a good candidate for a "rattle can restoration" as a little prepping of the face paint and some new paint would freshen it up. I don't see any signs of moisture damage on the face plate.
The glass is intact and the instrument faceplate graphics are in good condition. Very bight and legible. Handling admonishment stencil is nicely intact. U
nit still safety wired shut and lead-tabbed. This one came with the aluminum transit bar attached for locking or caging the instrument in transport. I suspect it'd been removed from service and packed away like this. No horrible cabinet bumps or dents or modifications.
The instrument itself doesn't appear to have any moisture or handling related issues that have inhibited the control knobs for course settings. I was easily able to move the directional face plate around by turning the knob. All screws and hardware still intact. It was originally electrically powered. We do not have the RAF type (British) electrical connector for the harness for the back of this instrument.
No mods or creases or drop damage to case. Looks as if one could do a little clean-up and cosmetic restoration on this one for a nice display instrument. Probably came out of something like the B-57 Canberra.
Radium content on this instrument unknown and NOT tested by us.  Assumed non-radium. Aero instruments of this vintage unless specifically stated otherwise in this posting may contain traces of said and makes international shipping sometimes difficult.
Unit is metal cased.
