VINTAGE KELVIN/WHITE COMPASS POLISHED BRASS BINNACLE MT. W/LED LARGE 9" BASE

Description

THIS LISTING IS FOR A VINTAGE KELVIN WHITE
BINNACLE MOUNT COMPASS WITH POLISHED SLIDING FRENCH DOOR HOOD.
TO PUT ONBOARD A BOAT THE COMPASS EITHER NEEDS SERVICED, OR REPLACED. THE DOME IS A RARE GLASS ONE AND IT LOOKS NEAR PERFECT, BUT TO REFILL WITH OIL IT WOULD LIKELY NEED A NEW O-RING AND THE BEZEL IS MISSING 3 SCREWS.
THIS HAS THE UNUSUAL FEATURE OF HAVING VIBRATION REDUCTION SPRING MOUNTS, (LIKE SHOCK ABSORBERS, SEE PHOTOS) RITCHIE MAKES A COMMERCIAL COMPASS WITH A SIMILAR SETUP.
THE LED LIGHTS ARE 12 VOLT AND COULD BE USED ONBOARD A BOAT, IT IS CURRENTLY SET UP AS A DISPLAY PIECE WITH A 110 VOLT STANDARD POWER CORD/12 VOLT INVERTER.
I HAVE 2 SMALL RED LED LIGHTS AT THE BACK OF THE COMPASS, AND A BLUE LED BULB FACING DOWNWARD INSIDE THE COMPASS HOUSING, GIVES IT A COOL LOOK DURING THE DAY AND ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, THE BASE HAS THICK FELT PADS AT THE BOTTOM WHICH ALLOWS A BLUE GLOWING HALO AT THE BOTTOM. (SEE PHOTOS)
THIS MEASURES APROX 9 1/4" DIAMETER AT THE BASE, AND IT IS APROX 9 1/2” TALL TO THE TOP OF THE HOOD, THE INDIDE DIAMETER OF THE HOOD IS 7 1/2".
PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR ADDITIONAL VINTAGE, AS WELL AS NEW BOAT HARDWARE.
