Unfortunately, Ritchie is the last standing. All others have dropped off the radar. So, look for these:
1) Ritchie D-5-S, 5" Globemaster with SS binnacle
2) Ritchie B-200P 4 1/2" Navigator, slightly smaller
both have quad correctors required for steel vessel. And make sure the pedestal has vertical tube for heeling error correction; a must.
Where are you located?
