Hello,

Can anyone direct me to a source for Danforth parts? I am in need of a
5" lexan compass dome.

You don't say what model it is so we might get an idea if it is worth
repairing.. Most often a good expensive compass it repaired by the mfg. That
can cost about $100 if you need the dome replaced. They would, of course
clean it internally and replace the fluid..

That may seem like a lot, but most all marine service a costing $100/hr now
for competent service.

I know Danforth makes some good compasses but I'm not aware of their service
reputation. I might recommend that you contact them and ask about a 'return
for service' rather than for parts. If I were a manufacture of a precision
piece of equipment, I wouldn't want to sell parts for a layman to do the
repairs.

If Danforth is anything like Richie and the compass isn't to old, they may
service it out of warrantee for little or nothing, for the sake of PR.
