    Default 23 year old flight instruments

    We have a kitfox kit that is 23 years old. The airspeed, VSI and altimeter are all in sealed bags and look like new but are the same age, I believe. Should these be sent to a testing facility to verify proper operation or do you think they are good to go? Thanks.

    I'd bet that they're good to go.

    What brand are they . If westach quad gauges and you want to upgrade, I would be interested in purchasing along with the senders.
    I know,I should upgrade but just really like these
    Old gauges and mine are acting up occasionally.
    Cheers
