Greg, Try one of the places that rebuilds instruments first (check the ads in Trade-a-Plane). You should be able to get your original overhauled for less than $200 and if it is just faded markings, the cost should be much less. This way you get to retain your well made original instrument and it will look and function like new. I still have my original altimeter from '46 and after seeing the new plastic "Chinese" instruments, I can't imagine they will still be around in 50 years.
