hmm.. as you wrote, I got it already disassembled. the housing is 
broken, and all the other small parts within the altimeter, too, so the 
mechanics acutally "float" free within the housing.
that's why I got it for $10,-. but the needles are still good, so I can 
drive it through a servo.

if you saw the pic of the ASI, on the page is also a pic of an ADI, and 
this item was complete. I started to disassemble it last weekend, most 
of the mechanics has been fastened at the backside of the housing. I had 
to remove everything at the back, to get the mechanics out at the front 
- maybe this is some help for you, sorry I couldn't do more for you.

greetings
