stuff deleted...

Why build one from scratch? You can buy a WWII flux-gate compass from
a company called JOLLYCO (or something like that) out of Chicago.  These
are the real thing, minus electronics, for somewhere around $35.

If you're interested, I can dig up / verify the company name & phone number.
