Help Gordon Probably no help at all, but many years ago I did service quite a number of Calmec Mark X pilots. I never did find a schematic or service information, but after banging head on wall for even taking on those jobs, I found that they were not all that complex, electronically. The main problems were usually pitted relay points (an easy fix) or worn/contaminated/broken wire (hairlike) brushes on the slip rings connecting the rotating compass bowl to the rest of the circuitry. Repairing these brushes was always a challange. It can be done, for sure, but one has to have a cool hand and a good sense of humor. Old Chief Lynn |
