REFLECTOR: Need Altimeter

 Actually, non-sensitive means it has no internal "vibrator" or "exciter" whose job it is to keep the needles from sticking from lack of inertia or light friction. All TSO'd 
3 1/8" two-needle altimeters have these. 

It is a standard UMA single-pointer 5-410-10 and most definitely has a Kollsman window for altimeter adjustment. 

Having said that, I would not really want to fly IFR with it, but it would do in a pinch if it was high on your panel. It was very closely aligned with my GRT EFIS
during last year's Pitot/Static certification.
