Detailed Product Description
The Smiths 601EMA8 standby altimeter vibrator is an essential instrument component engineered to dampen oscillations in mechanical altimeter pointers. Commonly used in general aviation and vintage aircraft, this vibrator improves accuracy and readability by stabilizing needle movement in backup instruments.
This is a new surplus part—unused and preserved from prior inventory. While the packaging or exterior may show minor shelf wear, the unit is functionally equivalent to OEM new, making it a valuable solution for certified maintenance, panel refurbishments, or aircraft restoration projects.
Due to limited availability and discontinuation in some supply chains, this component is ideal for A&P mechanics, parts managers, or aircraft owners seeking to secure hard-to-source instrumentation parts.
This is nearly identical to my first pilot logbook, but with a new smooth matte black cover. This logbook checks all the boxes from student pilot through Commercial. It might just be the only logbook you’ll ever need. Fly safe!
