Description
This instrument measured the current altitude by the use of air pressure. It was located on the main instrument panel of the Nakajima Ki-44, Kawasaki Ki-61, Nakajima Ki-84, Mitsubishi Ki-46, Nakajima Ki-49, Mitsubishi Ki-67, Kawasaki Ki-55, and Tachikawa Ki-54.
Made of aluminum, brass and steel, this instrument is of late-war manufacture, and was brought back by a US Serviceman after the war. It still retains 90% of it’s original paint and finish, however the data plate is missing. There is NO damage or corrosion, and the millbar adjust knob turns…however the needle appears to be stuck. probably needs a slight adjutment. The numbers and hands still glows when UV light is applied, and it reacts to air pressure. I have indicated it’s location in the last photos. Like most Japanese instruments, this gauge is VERY RARE and would be a FANTASTIC addition to any Japanese Instrument Collection!
——————- PAYMENT —————– Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment.
——————- SHIPPING —————– My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate.
——————- TERMS OF SALE —————– Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase.
——————- ABOUT ME —————– Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
