Timetæller / Hour meter.
Når både bliver så gamle som vore Moonrakere, sker det, at instrumenter
ikke mere fås mage til dem du har. Så er valget, at montere nye umage
instrumenter eller prøve at reparere de gamle. Mine timetælleres
frontglas var blevet uklare, da de åbenbart var støbte i noget
plastmateriale der ikke er UV stabiliseret. Da instrumenterne iøvrigt
virkede godt nok, skilte jeg dem ad og monterede klare glas istedet.
(Det fremgår ikke hvem der har produceret dem, men de er tilvirkede i West-Germany og er leveret af Parimpex Limited, Lime Tree House, Seven Oaks, Kent).
When vessels become as old as our
Moonrakers, it happens, that instruments not more are available exactly as
the ones you have. Then the choice is to replace with new mismatching
instruments or try to fix the old ones. My hour meter's front lenses had
become yellow and cracked, as they clearly had been made of some plastic
which isn't UV stabilized. As the meters otherwise was in working order, I
had them disassembled and replaced the plastic with clear glass.
(The meters are not marked with the manufacturer, but they are made in West-Germany, and are supplied by Parimpex Limited, Lime Tree House, Seven Oaks, Kent).
