Funniest thing doing this is how many people chat with you about the uniqueness of garage sales via bicycle.

One guy, incredulous, said "wow! you know you have a bicycling habit when you are doing garage sale by bike!" (then he proceeded to tell me a story about doing the same with his family on vacation, with an electric cargo bike, after they had all been drinking all night (apparently they were still kinda drunk), and coming back to the hotel with the front cargo section of that bike filled up with garage sale stuff, lol).

Collins IND-350.

"...The IND-350 is an affordable GPS/VOR/LOCIndicator from the Collins Microline series. The IND-350 uses a rectilinear meter movement, instead of pendulum, which makes it easier toread. The needle remains vertical throughout its range of travel, which helps the pilot to better determine the degree of correction neededto stay on course.

This indicator does not contain a VOR/LOC Converter, which permits its use with a GPS. The IND-350, together with an Annunciator ControlUnit (ACU), can be used to meet the FAA requirements for an IFR GPS installation...."

Someone posted the pinouts/manual online!

Hmm, someone connected one of these up to a flight simulator, so the specs must be out there....

Ah, looks like people definitely are hacking these things into their flight simulators, lol. Will think about what to do with this, goes into the "nifty random electronics detritus in the shack" pile, ha ha.
