Hey all-

Dug this old sounder out of the closet. Wondering what it might be worth to someone. Bought new in 82 i think, it sat in a box for many years then it (the brackets) was installed in the late 80's but the unit was not used. A bad ducer wire was to blame and the unit was forgotten with a new LCD unit also on the boat. So let me know what ya think.

Man! That brings back memories. Used to have my walls decorated with the paper strips from some really special places... Cool!

What no Loran A machine or radio directional finder?

I think you'll have a hard time finding the paper for it.

I had one of those laying around from my dad's boat. Same as you, got forgotten when the color machine went in. I ended up scrapping it.

Please, nobody tell me it's worth a bunch as a collector's item. I'd be P.O.'d 'cause the only collectors for those that I'm aware of come down the block twice a week with a big truck.

I used to have a flasher, it had a spinning wheel and a bunch of leds that flashed to indicate depth I think it was a Ray Jefferson. Probably in a box somewhere in the basement.....

Redix in wrightsville beach still has about 10 rolls of paper for that thing. I have seen it numerous times and wondered to myself if anyone still had a machine to go with the paper. Just in case whoever buys it actually want's to hook it up.

Thanks for all the feed back. BTW i also have the brackets that it mounts on and that 3 prong plug that goes to the ducer
