  • Manufacturer Part Number: 5" GLOBEMASTER COMPASS
  • Condition: GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION, (FOR BEST DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION, PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS),THE COMPASS IS FULL WITH NO BUBBLES. NOT SURE IF IT'S SWUNG ACCURATELY OR NOT, NORTH IS POINTING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IN MY SHOP. ON YOUR BOAT, IT MIGHT NEED ADJUSTMENT, I ONLY MENTION THIS BECAUSE A PREVIOUS BUYER WAS UPSET THAT THEIR COMPASS WAS OFF BY A FEW DEGREES. THE CLEAR GLASS? DOME LOOKS GOOD, NO BUBBLES AND IT'S VERY CLEAR, JUST A FEW TINY SCRATCHES/ABRASIONS. THE LED LIGHT HOUSING IS ONLY HELD IN WITH ONE SCREW, BUT THAT SCREW HOLDS IT FIRMLY IN PLACE, THE LIGHT HOUSING IS FOR A DANFORTH CONSTELLATION COMPASS BUT WORKS FOR THIS COMPASS, ALSO THE RED LED LIGHT LEADS ARE NOT VERY LONG. (SEE LAST PHOTO).
