Depth Gauge help?

[KrustyKrab]

This is my 20 year old depth gauge on which the LCD screen has stopped working (pic #1). It still beeps when I turn it on and still has the red backlight. But no numbers :cry:.

I know it is a Model DS41, but I can't find the "Standard" brand anywhere on the interweb, so I'm guessing that they have gone out of business since then. Does anyone know if another company bought them out, which might offer a compatible model?

Or, does anyone know if another (budget) brand will accept that type of plug from the puck transducer (pic #2)? Thanks.

According to the manuals it used a 200 KHz transducer

Thanks JK! I didn't know about the frequency compatibility. Fortunately I found from the manual that my old one was 200kHz, which seems to be compatible with the newer display units such as the Hawkeye or Faria. And it looks from the pictures that the Hawkeye has the RCA type plug, too. Many thanks.

Thanks JohnB, I guess they stopped making depth gauges.

Looks like a Standard Horizon, which is still in business. But I think they bailed out of the instrumentation business.
