beej 0 #1 May 20, 2004 Have I f****d it? It looks like my altimeter got accidently washed with my jumpsuit in the washing machine :( Seeing as the alti is the mechanical type, I was wondering if it's still OK.. I will of course get someone to carry it on a jump to observe it.. ---------------------------------------------------- If the shit fits - wear it (blues brothers)-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #2 May 20, 2004 I'd send it to Alti 2 (its its an altimaster) to get it checked and calibrated.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VectorBoy 0 #5 May 20, 2004 I did the same thing in the pond a few years ago. Alti said wash with clean water ( not a problem for you ) let it dry and DONT use oil to lubricate parts they run dry. Most of the workings are brass and were fine. The problem was the spur gear on the shaft the needle runs on got rusty after two months and became sluggish then completely inoperable due to pitting. I thought I did everything right then but what I would do now if I were you is send it back to alti and get it bathed in their cleaning solution and checked out.
