WANTED: working PFD or MFD or MCDU for display ONLY
Hi all,
I´ve been searching for a while on ebay etc for a nice PFD or MFD or MCDU for display only in my consulation room (am an AME).
I dont need an airworthy part as its for display only and airworthiness is too expensive for just a display piece.
it should be displaing some demo screen, preferred running a demo moving map or something like this.
A colour screen would be great and a AC/DC converter to 220 V as well.
Wrote already to Honeywel/Garmin/Avidynem but got no response :-(.
Something like they have on their exhibhition stands or a surplus part would be great...but its should display a demo screen at least.
Willing to pay a reasonable price.
Best regards
Oliver
Any hints where to get somnething like this appreciated.

Here's one for $1,200. Not cheap, but if you're going to keep it in your office for the next 20 years or whatnot, maybe that's not so bad.

replica but easily driven. might be ideal and looks like the real thing - could be ideal! You could even set it up as active ))

Is what you MAY really want (and you could make an offer to get it cheaper), however driving the display might be difficult... saying that it would look impressive!

Original as well... although you might have to persuade them to ship to Europe

I'm not an Engineer but I suspect the first option is your best, the other two may be impossible to drive without further hardware (basically half the avionics bay
).

Isn’t there a flight sim vendor that sells replica PFDs etc?
edit; yes, but it appears out of stock. https://www.cpflight.com/en/cdu737-prod-76.php
