Thread: Old School Electronics part two

Those were pretty cool when they came out. Got a old 2000 in the attic that works. Screen on it looks like the old pong video game.

Real old school and boat was built with dash molded around it.

keeferfish I also had an old Lowrance back in them days but I let it go with a boat I sold back then. It was the old Lowrance x15 chart recorder. Had to put paper and ink stylus in em back in that day. Kinda wish I had kept it also.

I had 1 many, many years ago ...

Seems like I traded it for beer ...

I knew guys back in the day that would map out a place, pull the chart and make notes all over it. Then they had a book on the lakes they fished and would put it in there to study next time they were going to fish it. Expensive to buy and even more expensive to operate. But they sure did show the detail.

One mistake on your post---the stylus BURNED the image on the paper. There was no ink. Ever run yours at night? You could literally see sparks where the stylus met the paper.

I had a Lowrance 1510C that was the most detailed piece of electronics I ever saw. I honestly miss the detail I was able to get from it. I also owned a Lowrance X-16 and an Eagle Mach I, both paper graphs.

I still laugh about using my X-16 on Jonathan Creek on KY Lake during the crappie spawn. That thing beeped constantly and I had boats that would literally follow me around, let me drop a marker buoy, then run to fish MY BUOY before I could get turned around and back to it. I learned to drop the 1st buoy away from anything I wanted to fish. Needless to say, having folks run in on me like that caused some tense exchanges and probably some new words were created during those verbals.

I got one of these "true" graphs that work and spare paper. Need one? Ima dust collector.

I STILL HAVE X16 AND A MARH 1 WITH PAPER,DO NOT USE THEM ANYMORE
