Avionics FAQ

Most of the King (now Honeywell) Gold Crown components were originally manufactured in the early to mid 1970s. King then Bendix/King now Honeywell discontinued production these components many years ago replacing them with the Bendix/King Gold Crown III product line.

Most of the original Gold Crown products incorporate 1960s and 70s analog technology. As a result, most service parts needed to maintain and repair original King Gold Crown components are no longer available. Therefore, you will experience limited to no warranty available and unreliability for all of the original Gold Crown units.
