Looks like I may need to replace an Autohelm (Raymarine) ST60 TriData repeater, and two Teleflex Red International Tachs (7000 RPM). Of course, both are discontinued products. Anyone have any working spares floating around they might be looking to sell?

Well, I found a depth sounder (Autohelm ST60+ Tridata system, with transducers) that I could use to replace the old display!! And now I have spares for my transducers!

My mechanic suggested checking my marina's (small) parts department, as he thought he saw some old Autohelm product on the shelves when he was there recently (probably because their parts Dept is so small that nobody thinks of going to them when they need stuff). They didn't have what I needed so I decided to call a bunch of marine stores within a few miles of me. Of all places to carry discontinued products : West Marine in Toronto had what I needed! I figured some rinky-dink hole in the wall place might have old stock kicking around, but hey - I will take what I can get!

I called their Oakville store and they said they didn't have stock, but that their computer said Toronto had 1... Being a computer guy, I know that if someone has 1 of anything in stock, it's an inventory error... but they actually did have it!

What's even better : it's a discontinued product, so instead of the regular price being $800 or so, they sold it for $299.44 !!! Yea Baby!!! (for the Austin Powers fans)

Anyways, still hoping to find 2 Teleflex Red International 7000 RPM tachs so I can keep the gauges consistent. Replacing the 2 bad tachs with Teleflex's replacement series (the Amega series) for now, but still hoping to source two Red Internationals to go back to what I want. Found one on ebay, but a bit dicey as to whether to trust it as a good instrument, and/or find a mate for it.

I was going to suggest ebay But I see you checked there

I have a ray marine GPS and Depth sounder, not sure of model numbers, They are at boat dock and can check on them this Thursday-Fri and get back to you over weekend. I have never used them so not sure if working or not.

Thanks for the offer Larry, but I have the GPS/Depth covered and am just looking for tachs now.
