Hi Edd
LORAN transmissions stopped a couple of years ago and the transmission towers were torn down. But there is a new kid in town, eLoran - a higher tech version. It is being trialed in places where GPS is not so hot (far north) and in areas where either GPS failure or GPS jamming would be a catastrophe - south Korea, and the English Channel...

You would need a new unit, so it is safe to turf the one you have.

Josh,

I would love to see some pics. I was thinking of going with black semi-translucent panels that could give me some easy access and be easy to cut into. And, I could put "bridge graphics" in the areas where I have nothing (http://i.imgur.com/4nchY.jpg)

Could make for an interesting project. I just getting tired at looking at a LORAN unit that I never use --- I don't even think they are transmitting LORAN anymore.


All the best,

Edd

Edd,

I got a 2'x4' sheet of 1/8 inch ABS black plastic (grainger item 1ZBT4 = $25.30). I cut and rounded the corners and filed/sanded the edges. Then I also got some quarter turn latches (EMKA #ELH-861 in black = $6.65 x4). I cut the plastic sheet to take up the whole height and width of the section. I had to cut holes in the exsisting material for the latches to fit through. When I'm ready to put something in that section, it is going to have a really nice means of access, kinda similar to the stock switch panel.

I'll send pics if I get a chance.

    Listers,

    The previous owner had some electronics installed (a LORAN, car
    stereo, old autopilot control, etc.) that I'm thinking of removing.

    I'd love to hear from people who have removed large units from
    their instrument panel and what you did with the rectangular
    holes left behind. Any advice, tips or photographs would be great.


    All the best,

    Edd
