> TSOed instruments in the panel  to satisfy 91.205

is your egg timer TSOed? what about Fuel Gage probes and
gear lights? phue, I'm glad TSOs aren't required for non standard aircraft.

(there is recent "letter" change to 91 that I can't find, that enables
a backup AI (TSOed if you want) count as a T&B with a glass panel.)
