Narco MK 12 NAV/COM overhaul

Hi,
Does any have any recommendations for good overhaul shop to work on my Narco MK 12D?

I am a Ham radio operator but my sources don't do work on avionics.

Thanks in advance.

Narco just overhauled my DME 890 unit. They did a fine job and it came with a 6 month warranty. It was expensive, though. About $560. The turn-around time was about 3 weeks.

Hi.

Our 172H has two Narco 12Ds, both of which started getting intermittent TX problems. Our local shop sent one back to Narco and it came back fixed with an $1130 bill. No joke! But it's fixed.
I yanked the second one out myself and sent it to Bevan-Rabelle in Kansas and it came back costing less than $200 to fix. They found a number of bad solder joints, a broken trace on the tx board which they fixed, cleaned it and realigned it, bench tested it hot and cold and sent it back. I'm not sure if it's really fixed, but I'm also starting to suspect a bad wiring harness is really the culprit this time. I was very happy with the service and turnaround time so would certainly recommend giving them a call. Look them up on Google.

I recently used Depot Avionics in Alamosa Co. Very poor results, they said it couldn't be fixed and gave me a choice of pay 1000 for an estimate or they would buy it for $150. They did lower the estimate down to $319, but I still got had.

If you are looking for an honest shop that works on Narco Radios, try Radio Ranch in Rock Falls Illinois. I have had them work on several radios that neede repair. Usually get pretty quick turn around at fair prices, contact Boyce there at 815-622-9000
