Thank you, So glad you responded as Weems & Plath finally came back with we don't keep records that far back! Attached a pic.
Ritchie is readily available nearby, so that's cool!
The filling port is under the plastic shroud, and readily accessible.
Electrics are in perfect working order as someone was smart enough to leave batteries out.
Yippee! A fun new navigation toy.
Picked up an old heavy weather glass same trip. Nice long spout. Grew up with one of these on the wall. My father taught me about pressure systems and weather sense at sea. A great memory. Going in Syrena in the main cabin.
Thank you!
