My last post said I have a New ( as far as I know) Winter ( West Germany)Air Speed indicator, that came with my KR2, it does not work, the needle seems to be free to move but no movement when connected to a Pitot tube and placed out the window of at car at 120kmh. Are they worth fixing . Who can repair them ?? in Australia Or just buy a new one??

Guys sorry my last post was not as clear as it could have been. ASI (Winter W22405) 0 to 160 knots How I tested my ASI The Pitot tube was put out the car window, The glass held the tube in place. Plastic correct tube run to the Pitot line on the ASI the static line left uncovered and NOT connected inside the vehicle. IT did not move the needle. at 120kmh. Next I blew very gently into the Pitot tube, Nothing happened I could blow as hard as I liked into the Pitot line and the needle did not move, ( NO the tube was not blocked) The static line seems to be free of obstruction. If I gentle tap on the side of the ASI, the needle does move.
