Maretron instruments

[sailfree]

We have a 1980 Catalina 30 with Maretron speed, depth, and wind speed and direction instruments. Some work, some don't.

Does anyone have experience getting 1980's vintage Maretron instruments repaired. Who repairs them? Cost?

It would be nice to keep the matched set, but repairs may not be practical. Can anyone confirm if it's a lost cause when they fail.

AFAIK, Maretron is still in business, contacting them would be a good first step.

I've emailed Maretron about this. No reply yet.
I was just hoping someone who had experience with these older instruments could share what they know.

Sometimes a company has the same name, but has no real connection to the older products, or has no interest in repairing them. Sometimes a repair shop somewhere has detailed knowledge of the type and can fix them at reasonable cost.

Just trying to gather all the info I can before deciding to repair or replace.
