Default 2 1/4 Altimeter

Anybody know where I can get a small altimeter, am looking for a backup instrument. So far have only been able to find a single lever unit with 200ft graduations. Would prefer a dual hand one.

Thanks

Stephen,
Here is a pic of the Stby Instruments in my mates -8.

If you like the look of them I will find out where I obtaned them from.
They would be dear as they are TSOd for his IFR panel.
Pete.
PS. You must suffer severe jetlag living between OZ, the US and the UK.

The only one I know of in the smaller size with multiple needles is the Winter brand which is marketed for gliders...to 20,000ft. High quality...but quite expensive. I don't think there are any others at this time. Go here
