    Description

    This large vintage 1970's Scubapro LS-1 "Dual Digit Readout" wrist-mount compass was purchased by seller in the mid-70's after he was certified.  After being used on and off until the mid-80's, it was kept in a closet, unused, until now.  It is in very good used condition with the bezel rotates (ratcheting) in both directions as it did when new.  The compass face is clean, clear and excellent cosmetic condition.  The contoured neoprene case and wrist band are in very good condition, with no hardening or cracking, but there are a few cosmetic blemishes and thin orange rubber paint stripes on each end of the wrist band originally added by seller to make it easier to identify as his.  The highly luminous off-white luminous bezel arrow point and lubber's line glow in the dark; however, the floating compass card beneath the dial and peripheral bezel degree numbers around the top of the compass case do not glow (and may not have been made luminous).
    The original 15-page factory owners manual & instructions, complete with photos and diagrams, comes with the compass. It is in very good condition except for what appears to be a circular dark stain across the cover (possible from a coffee mug?) and a few scrapes around 2 edges.
    This compass measures approximately 69 mm (@2-1/3")  in diameter and approximately 43 mm thick.  The width of the band is approximately 24 mm/1".  The band is in excellent, pliable condition and the chromed brass buckle hardware is in excellent condition..

    Please thoroughly read this entire listing and kindly ask any and all questions you may have prior to buying as this sale is final and no refunds of any kind will be given.  And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this compass.
    ***********Note: This compass, which works fine above water, has not been tested underwater.
    According to the owner's manual, "pressure does not affect the compass because the
    hermetically sealed housing
    is fluid-filled, making it 'virtually incompressible.'"  However,
    it should not be used underwater until it has been pressure-tested to insure that housing still seals.
    Insured shipping will be provided.
