I have a Danforth Constellation circa 1977 that originally sold near =
$400.
I was wondering if there was a service center that can restore it to its =
original lustre?
Thanks in advance for the info.

Charles,

Is yours also a Danforth Constellation (DC), like Kevin's.  I too have a
DC (Circa 1983).  It's a very nice compass and seems to behave well, but
late last season it started to get a small air bubble.  It also has some
crazing where the lens goes into the base.  Can you send more info on
Baker-Lyman?  Also, if any other Listees have knowledge of a good (and
reasonable) person to send to in the Baltimore/Annapolis area I, and
perhaps Kevin would appreciate it.

Thanks,  Mel Knott

usually all you have to do is open the fill plug with the
bubble up to the hole and add compass oil

What do you use for compass oil?  I use liquid paraffin, same stuff
as in my oil-lamps (not kerosene). Anyone got better ideas?

Lamp oil is OK -- Baby oil is better .

Some compasses in time from the heat and cold develop an air bubble.if there
is no wet leak usually all you have to do is open the fill plug with the
bubble up to the hole and add compass oil. Check the o-ring for cracks.

member.

I therefore apologize.  I really shouldna. It was funny though.

What do you use for compass oil?

A sail boat shop in Chicago sold a bottle,probably home brew, called compass
oil.  I  tried mineral oil, way to heavy, . I would think West Marine or the
such would sell something. Maybe a compass manufacturer ?
