the Wood Freeman "Metal Marine Pilot" Ship's compass, forward aft box and gear

Description

Even though these look old, I think this is more like late 1970s or early '80s, as these were popular on the charter fishing boats out here right around then. It's a ship's compass with electrical wires and stuff attached to help it maintain it's course. I'm pretty sure it's from around here, let's see...yes, it says Tacoma Washington, the Wood Freeman company who made it must be from there. It has it's compass fluid in there but I don't know if it still works, has been off the boat for 15+ years. It's dirty and a bit greasy down by the gears, weighs about 9 pounds. This will be more clear than the digital photo shows.
The high bidder is to pay for shipping, if you're logged in ebay should have that calculated in so the further you are from the Northwest the more it will show. We will combine auctions to save on shipping if interested. Ebay's rules only allow us to advertise electronic payments for payment options so we do accept Paypal.  Winning bidder may notify us of their payment type preference if need be.  There is a full refund offered if needed as well, we always offer that.  We have the listing set up otherwise to discourage automatic returns as sometimes it's better not to play post office ping pong and it sort of locks us into doing it otherwise.  Normally we can get our items packaged up and sent out the next business day, though sometimes it might take an extra day or two if we're busy on the farm.  Thanks for looking.
