Compass is leaking

Postby Seif911 » April 24th, 2013, 9:10 am

Good Morning All,
I noticed the compass is leaking. Can I refill it with mineral oil? Of course I would need to find the leak. It is a rather nice looking compass or I would not care.
Thanks,
Steve

I'd bet if you contact the manufacturer, they have a procedure.
Thanks

Depending on it's age, you may be better off replacing it.
