Several years ago I had a customer interested in an NSD-1000, so I called an instrument shop that I do business with to see what they think of it, since I had never installed one before. The shop said they were nothing but trouble, and strongly advised me against ever using one. I ended up selling the customer an NSD-360, which is a very good HSI that has proven to have a long service life. Also, Century has never been accused of being very helpful to the customer after-the-sale. IMHO, the best HSI systems are the King KCS-55A, the Century NSD-360, and the S-Tec ST-180. Both Allied Signal (King) and S-Tec, have great customer support, and a high-quality product. David Buckwalter Avionics Systems
