King KX155
Hi,
I have a King KX155 Nav/Com Part No. 069-1024-42; Serial No. 30005.
Please can anyone tell me how old the unit is or how I can find out?
I have emailed Bendix King but not received a reply.
Regards
Derek

Herman,
Thanks for the reply. I have double checked the Part No. and Serial No and they are both correct as set out in my first posting. The unit is a KX155 (not a KX155A).
I have sent two emails to Bendix King and have not even received an acknowledgement. I have also phoned them twice in the US from the UK but only managed to get through to an answering machine system after waiting about 5 minutes!
I would be grateful if anyone can help
Derek

Herman,
Thanks again for the reply.
When I got your reply I suspected that something must be wrong so I had a closer look at the Part #. The "42" portion of the number is on a piece of clear plastic tape which I have now removed only to find that there is no number underneath. So the Part # now reads only 069-1042-.
However, there is also another label on the radio which says 069-01024-0042R-7 99R 13/13
Does this help?
Thanks again
Derek

Generally when buying older radios it is best to get them with a yellow tag (servicable tag)
It can be bench checked for all functions.
If it does not look too good, the faceplate is usually sun and/or finger damage. A new faceplate can be purchased and easily replaced in case that helps.
If in certain low wing craft with swept windshield it does not take too many years to sun damage the face especially in sunny climes.

Jeremy,
Thanks for the helpful information which I will take up with my local Bendix Kink service depot.
My main reason for my questions about the age of the radio is because I bought it on the understanding that it was six years old in working condition but it looks more like 16 years old (at least)!
