While many cavers are now using DistoX2s for surveying, many of us still have and use Suuntos. I was on trip yesterday and found the face of my Suunto compass had cracked, creating a large bubble inside the instrument that makes it hard to use accurately. Years ago, I'd send my Suuntos off to the Ben Meadow Company for repair. I hadn't heard of anyone doing that recently, so I looked into it and am posting this note in case anyone finds it helpful.
Ben Meadows is now part of Forestry Suppliers. And they do repair Suunto compasses and clinometers (among other things) for about $100 less than buying a new one.
