 |
|
Long ago I gave up maintaining a Lear L2 autopilot that was installed in my 1957 Piper Apache. I believe that, as of this week's annual inspection, all of the scattered components have actually been removed from the aircraft. It was a three-axis autopilot with selsyn pickoffs on elevator and ailerons. Approach coupler and altitude hold worked in its early days. The attitude and heading gyros with pickoffs are no longer available.
Having worked on the box for a couple of decades I can guarantee that it will never become airworthy again. The 300 volt rotating motor generator and the magnetic clutches are shot. It's all done with vacuum tubes and the sockets were giving me pains.
If anyone is interested, perhaps for parts to support a still-working unit, please contact me at user dmcnutt with the same domain as my list address. I'm willing to pack it up but you would have to pick up the cost of UPS or other shipping from zip code 80919. I estimate about 75 pounds.
In a week or so I am going to extract the cute things - like selsyn motors - and junk the rest.

I would pay the shipping. If that works for you I could use it. Mike 612-590-8604
