Seems like you, suspected , WRONG..... Look up Standard/Horizon Communications, in your favorite Search Engine. They are still a Big Player in the non-commercial Marine Electronics Business, and doing quite well..... Bought by Vertex, and still in operation http://www.standardhorizon.com/ They are out of the instrument biz, but still have "some" old parts laying around. The tech department is very helpful if you CALL them and ask nicely. Yes,you're right, their tech dept is very helpful but they have nothing left that fits my need. If I can't get the old DS-1 working I may try a cheap inside the hull depth sounder, eg Uniden QT 206 which you can get for under $100 and doesn't need a hole in the hull. Some say they work fine. Thanks for the help Richard I used one of those... different manufacturer... it worked great (on a Cal 20). I glued a piece of PVC pipe to a centrally location spot, filled it with mineral oil, then put the transducer in. I fitted a piece of PVC in the top of the pipe with enough room for the wire to come out. It was enough to preserve the oil level even with fairly extreme heel. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
