FAQ - Compass Repair

Most Common Question #1:
My compass is missing fluid all of a sudden, but there isn't a crack or puddle of fluid.  What's wrong?

Answer:
You've got small cracks in your dome.  The specialized fluid inside the dome is evaporating.  You need a basic rebuild.
Most Common Question #2:
I can't see any cracks in the dome.  Can't I just unscrew the compass and put more fluid in it?

Answer:
You could...but the fluid would evaporate just as it did before, and you risk causing significant damage to your compass.  It is important that a qualified repair technician service your compass in order to prevent further damage.
Most Common Question #3:
I have a problem with (insert part).  Can you send me a new (insert part) and I will install it myself?

Answer:
No.  With the exception of lights that go on the outside of your compass, all repairs should be handled by a qualified technician.  (See answer #2)
