Boston Whaler - Ritchie Navigator Compass

Removal of the original Ritchie Compass. It is made out of brass. Sent it to Viking Instrument for complete restoration. Needed new light wires, globe, fluid, paint job, ect. Got it back already (quick turn around time). Looks beautiful...Like new. Just don't have a picture of it yet to show you. It is in a box at my folks place. Here is the company website if you need it: http://www.discountweather.com/

Out of curiosity, why did you send it to Viking instead of Ritchie?

I guess Ritchie doesn't repair old compass's like this. Now a days many are plastic and when one needs to be replaced, they are considered to be tossed away. Viking repairs many kinds of compass's. They refer much of their work there I guess.
