barnickelbill Topic Author Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 336 Karma: 24 Thank you received: 16	My Airguide compass is only half full of liquid, is this correct or should it be full? And I presume the little bars at the bottom are to calibrate it somehow? Thanks folks Cheers Bill Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I think you're right on the calibrating of it. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

davidk Offline Senior Boarder Posts: 193 Karma: 6 Thank you received: 5	I think the older compasses were filled with mineral oil. I've used this stuff to refill a compass a few years ago. www.westmarine.com/buy/ritchie-navigation--fluid-for-ritchie-compasses--P014_420_007_502 Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
