The display in my Narco Com 810 TSO has been getting worse & worse.
It dims to nothing at night, and even just on a dark day or in the hangar.
I finally decided to address the problem.
Did some research & determined that I needed Narco display p/n 50226-0001.
Found a few on ebay for $200-250, but I ended up buying one from DigiKey.com.
Their p/n 541-1411-ND, $146 delivered.
Easy to install- remove freq knobs w/ an itty-bitty allen key,
then remove radio faceplate by removing two small plastic screws on each end.
Then gently slide the old display (a flat piece of glass) up a bit, then out and away from radio.
Slide new display into place & reassemble.
Nothing to it.
FWIW I talked to a couple local radio guys, either one would have nicked me a c-note to do it.
