GA Nav / Radio Panel build...help needed

[Louie Mendez]

This one is custom, my friend didn't want a screen cutout to it.

This is a military radio I have rebuilt as part of my collection. Mostly Spec-Ops dudes(e.g. USAF Combat Controller, ODA, SFOD, Frogmen) or MOS 25D/19D use this thing.
I purchased the case on ebay and made my own faceplate and buttons from scratch. Not a simpit item, but just to show anything is possible .

Louie,

Glad to see you are building GA style equipment. Wish I had more time to work on my panel as it appears others do.

They make some nice stuff, but one small shortcoming is that don't sell it in kit form. I will buy fully assembled items when no alternative exists, but prefer kit form. With the exception of surface mount components (which can be a real pain to hand solder) I would prefer to save the money and invest the time in doing my own assembly.

A couple examples, I'm having trouble sourcing a couple small monitors to fit inside the avionics bay on in my 172 fuselage

1. For my Radios, DME, AP, etc. I would prefer a kit of parts for the faceplate and buttons so I can install my own switches and 7 segment LED's behind them. Or, if I can find a wide screen monitor that will fill the full avionics bay when installed on its side, I may be looking for a kit of parts to do the full stack as a monitor overlay.

2. Same for my GPS, I will only be looking for a prefab'd GPS if I can't find the monitor I want. But, if I do go prefab'd they are the front runner. However, if I get the monitor I need I would prefer to buy from someone who will sell the faceplate, buttons, etc. as a kit of parts.

I'm not putting down Emuteq, in fact I think they are one of the better vendors in the SIM world with good quality hardware, reasonable pricing, and a solid reputation. I just prefer to invest time more than money right now so I can save the cash for some of the stuff I can't build myself.

Would you be interested in this set-up?

Rob,

Are you getting rid of that? If so, can we get more details?

As the saying goes, everything is for sale for the right price, except the family. lol All the gauges are functional except the VOR gauges. They can be real easy, just need to purchase more servo's. All are real gauges that have been converted by Singer or myself. The Garmin 530 is an Emuteq unit, all the post lamps work and are on a dimmer. It uses SIOC and servo's turning pot's to send the signal to drive the gauges.
