Everything gets terribly cold soaked but the T&B actually is more reliable than the ADI or DG until the cabin warms up. Can actually freeze breath condensation on the glass. In fact sometimes have to cycle the gear a couple of times to get the green. I'd be wary that an overhaul might be in order. Imagine to worry about that instrument with a partial panel scenario. COuld be the final link in the straw that broke the camels back. I wired 110 AC to the interior so a small heater ( a 400W travel hair dryer) can be plugged in when using the Tanis. Hopefully the pay back will be longer gyro life in addition to the luxury of a warm cabin in the early morning roll outs.
