This is Dale: No, I wish. This is what I have, a Cassens &Plath Artificial Navigation Horizon.
(picture attached)
I also asked about using this bubble horizon on my Astra IIB. Martin kindly gave us a illustrated instruction from navastro.fr. (My fiancee is fluent in French but is not familiar with the technical terms, so she's no help.) But my horizon has only a single wire coming out of the top of the unit and is plugged into the battery pack/handle of the C&P Horizon. The bubble horizon is grounded on the frame at the fork arm that mounts the unit. So, at the moment I'm like Daniel Boone: bewildered.
