JohanW 0 #2 February 11, 2010 AFAIK they're still in business. www.barigo.de I had one cleaned and repaired not two years ago, didn't break the bank either. I went through my local gear shop at the time, but you can contact them for repairs through the website.Johan. I am. I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NovaTTT 1 #3 February 11, 2010 They're manufactured by a German company. It's interesting that it's not found in Poynter's. Contact them here and perhaps they can refer you to an American dealer/rep."Even in a world where perfection is unattainable, there's still a difference between excellence and mediocrity."

Does anyone know who made it and if there is any way to get it check out, cleaned etc.? my first alti was a barigo - solid as a rock, and a good machine, until it fell out of my backpack when the zip broke, never did find it (mind you I was on my motorbike when it happened!) I bought a replacement (Barigo) and it was shit - nearly all plastic, and lasted about 20 jumps. I had just cleaned and resprayed the original one as well, it looked like it was new again.

My first and only alti is a Barigo. Never cleaned or serviced, never needed it. Always worked flawlessly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skydivesg 6 #8 February 18, 2010 OK, I've sent two emails to the company over several days with no response. Does any one know for sure that they are still in business? Anyone have any other way of contacting them or know of a dealer who sells there altimeters? A little help..... thanks.Be the canopy pilot you want that other guy to be.
