Yacht compass in binnacle, antique, 4" card, fully serviceable, all original

Description: Lovely brass body compass in chrome plated copper alloy binnacle. No makers marks anywhere but I guarantee this is no Asian reproduction. I compared it to my other compasses and it functions accurately. No dings, dents, etc. Note that chrome plating is wearing off in some areas due to repeated polishing. I bought this from a guy in my marina who wanted a larger Ritchie compass with bigger numbers. This was on his trawler. I will ship it in the Ritchie boxes, double-boxed. Only the items photographed are included in this sale.This item is sold as is and without any warranty, implied or otherwise.No international shipping. No returns or refunds. Thank you for your interest.ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS. I strive for excellence in accuracy and customer satisfaction, as shown by my satisfaction rating. However, unscrupulous and unskilled ebay and craigslist buyers have forced me to implement a strict NO REFUND policy on electrical and electronic items, accessories, and components. I am very focused on customer satisfaction, as shown by my feedback rating. Unfortunately, not everyone on ebay is so forthright. Here are a few examples.One ebayer purchased a chartplotter that I had tested and verified was in excellent condition. He reversed polarity in installation and destroyed the unit. Of course, he did not say that but insisted the unit was defective out of the box. I gave him a refund and sent the unit to the manufacturer for repair. Only then did I discover what had happened. I lost $500 on that transaction.Another buyer purchased a radar that I had already tested and used but he insisted it was bad. Turns out he took the magnetron out of my unit and replaced it with a defective magnetron out of his unit. Fortunately, I had taken photos of internal components serial numbers and caught him in the act. Recently, a licensed “professional captain” bought a Raymarine 18” radome that required 12volt DC power. Rather than hire a professional installer, he connected it to a Raymarine VCM 100 transformer used for larger open arrays that puts out 48volts. When he made the connection and powered up the unit he destroyed the radome instantly.A fourth bought a working VHF radio that I demonstrated for him in my shop. He did his own installation, then he called to complain the unit would not transmit or receive. He lived close by so I went over to have a look. He said "Take a look at this” and repeatedly pressed the microphone to transmit on high power. I immediately noticed there was no antenna attached and informed him that he destroyed the VHF the moment he tried to transmit on high power without an antenna attached.Recently guy bought a bracket for his chartplotter. The chartplotter was old and an off brand. I warned him that I doubted the bracket would fit but he wanted it anyway. He cut it apart with a hacksaw to expand it. He did not like the finished product and tried to get a refund, even though he destroyed the bracket in the process.There are many more such tales, like the guy who bought a used chartplotter and then complained it would not change pages. I took a look and found he had assembled the unit improperly after changing the screen and had one of the buttons depressed constantly. He adjusted the bezel and everything worked fine.Another cut the plug off a transducer cable to make it easier to install. When he found he could not splice it he actually expected his money back. This has happened several times with a variety of cables. Sometimes they strip the threads on plugs or chartplotters, sheer off the nipples on bayonet sockets, splice cables, order the wrong cable, etc. and want a refund. These are only a few of my many unfortunate adventures with selling used electronics and components online.
