Wagner MP640 AP and Digital Compass
 

I have a Wagner MP640 Autopilot and am trying to interface with a Wagner
510-407 Digital Compass. Problem: the compass has a 12 pin connector and the
CPU unit has a 7 pin connector. The manual says that these units work
together but makes no mention of an adaptor cable nor does it gives the
pin-out assignments so that one could be fabricated. Anyone have a Wagner or
can offer help. Thanks

Wow. Only 2 hits on Google for Wagner MP640. That thing must be "Top
Secret"! One of them is very interesting, however. Email this guy
and I bet he can provide you with the cable or the pinout
arrangements....

He's got all your parts, too! Looks like a collector...(c;

of the world's sweetest oil supply? What idiot wants to
GIVE IT BACK?!!

You mean, give it back to the people who own it?

Jastram is run by ex-Wagner guys -- and they can supply Wagner parts.
Paul Wagner is back in business as Auto-Nav. They went bankrupt
because of cash-flow problems andn paperwork requirements on the
steering system for a series of Canadian navy frigates.
