Hi Ken
I bought a Finnish made Suunto B-116 or B116, to replace the original factory bulkhead compass. www.suunto.com it is lighted by a red LED, fits the old hole, works and look great. Suunto's motto is 'when luck is not enough'
I couldn't find the receipt, but I think it was about $180, including shipping last year. I had to go through a middle man, but the compass shipped directly from Finland to me and had the original bill of sale where the middle man paid about $140. Suunto may have stopped making compasses to concentrate on making watches, or something similar. There were some other places online that had the same compass for $225 and up.
