Collins Display Replacement Source
Panasonic sdr h80 software for mac. The Collins VHF-251 COMM Transceiver is the standard COMM from Collins' well-regarded Microline series. It is fairly deep, but takes up little space on your panel. The VHF-251 is a slide-in replacement for the Collins VHF-250 COMM Transceiver. This radio may be used in a 28 Volt aircraft, but it will require a voltage converter. View More Page 8/10.

Do you have the popular Collins VHF 251 and VIR 351 Digital Flip-Flop Nav/Com setup and flustered that the digital displays are always burning out?
Here is a posting from the Beech List for a contact to get the displays at something like $36 and the secrets to changing them out in about 5 minutes time:
Once or twice a year one of the display units will burn out and die. The five digits displayed in each of these radios are separate display units, so with dual nav/comms, this package has twenty individual display units. Every time I'd bring one in for repair, it costs close to $100 and seemingly without fail, two weeks later a different digit in the same radio would fail!
My avionics shop only charges a half hour labor and usually says 'I'll have it done in an hour or so'..so I figured just how hard can it be! The next time it happened I figured I'd give it a shot by doing it myself. The avionics shop agreed to sell me a display unit ($63), but cautioned to be very careful, 'there's a trick to getting that face apart without damaging it' (not that they offered to show me what it was!). So I was very careful, figured out the 'trick' without breaking anything, and changed the display.
It took about five minutes, including pulling the radio and reinstalling it in the panel. So with the help of a couple of electrical engineering buddies from Raytheon, I tracked down the manufacturer of the display units in hopes of getting a really economical fix to this recurring problem. I contacted them and they promptly responded with a note saying they'd be happy to sell to me and they'll even accept a credit card!
This is the reported display element removal procedure from two CSOBeech.com visitors:
Remove radio/nav. from aircraft using a standard avionics allen key. Undo the selector switches with a small allen key and gently remove. Undo the two screws that hold the plastic front plate to the frame and remove gently. Carefully pull out the failed display and replace with a new one, taking care not to bend any pins. Reverse the above to re-assemble.
The top of the front cover is flexible and has 'hooks' on the inside. Simply slip a thin putty knife under to unhook after removing the screws and knobs and the front cover slides off. To verify that it was indeed the light assembly that was bad I switched the first and last and the problem went with the light. I ordered one from Etsy for $35 plus shipping of $6.30 so it should be resolved shortly. Susan Shawlee of Sphere Research Corporation in British Colombia has them in stock for $49 plus $22 shipping via parcel post.
It has also been reported by avionics guru, John C., that the later Cessna 385 radios use the same display modules and if you find these radios on EBay, they can be a source for replacement displays. The Collins' DME DCE-400 unit reportedly contains these display modules as well.
NEWS FLASH November 2013: Latest report from Beech Talker Larry M. indicates:
'the supply line for the digital displays for the 251/351 Collins radios is drying up. The units are labeled a couple of different ways, but the Minitron 3015F part number is accurate. There is a supply of 20 units at $49.00, less than half of what the market price is, at Sphere Research.'

Cessna radios, and other Collins units, such as their DMEs use these digits, and it can be even cheaper to find them used. I saw a DME for sale, EBAY buy it now, for $99.00, and the seven digits alone are worth $125.00, and you still have more parts!
Hopefully, these tips will extend the life of your Collins equipment but come on folks, at some point even the most hardened CSOB has to enter the 21st Century of Nav/Com technology
