Hi - I recently unearthed an old Sestel gimbaled compass. It requires
filling with fluid and needs a new card - the existing card seems to be
moth-eaten.
A friend of mine used baby oil to fill a compass - any suggestions/better
ideas on this?
Does anyone have a contact for Sestrel (UK?) - there is a type number on the
pivoting section inside the bowl.
I will probably just use it for display, but would like to restore it.
Regards
Russell
