Angle of Attack Indicator

Disassembled the A-4 Angle of Attack indicator. It appears to be the real gauge from an A-4. It was quite complex.

Keeping

  • Main dial, scale is 0 to 30 (units, not degrees, per Navy info)
  • “OFF” indicator
  • Red light and buzzer, perhaps for stall indication

The Off indicator measures about 60 ohms. It probably can be driven with very little current with a current-limiting resistor.

The Red light and buzzer works on 5V, but it draws 0.7 amps.
