Picture thread for round gauges, analog and digital
I'm proposing this thread to have a place where one can view various old-style round gauges such as airspeed, altimeters, turn/bank, engine gauges, and misc. for those designing a panel using traditional gauges. It's easy to see the latest EFIS panel screens and there's templates and pictures for that already by major vendors.
Sometimes a builder wants to build or replace a hole in their panel with a 2 1/4 or 3 1/8 or other size hole.
Sometimes the look makes a difference. These could be true analog guages, or even electronic or mini efis or led but fit in round holes.
I'm proposing simple pictures and a link or mention of brand/model/size/particulars if needed.
I'm hoping another thread for switches and indicators...
Else, if no interest, let this be deleted or rolled off.

Simple and traditional
Panel for the first 10 years of flying up to a few weeks ago. In process of removing all vacuum instruments but will be retaining the round instrument look.

Electronic Steam
I have wished for a long time that someone would make electronic replacements for round instruments!

Thanks All for the kind words. The plane has been flying this way for six years now. All gyros are electric, so no vacuum system. It also old school with No Autopilot and manual trim.
