new old fish locator....need help

[madcitymaster]

so i was walking trough the thrift store when i saw to my supprise a Jetco sea scope fish locator.  It had no trasducer on it so i figured i'd pay the $1.50 and find something on the web.  I cant even find the locator...the company...nothing.  my question, do i have a locator worth $1.50 or should i hold on to it and maybe find the parts for it?

thanks,

MC master

    Madcitymaster,
    Without a transducer you've got yourself a mighty fine paperweight for only $1.50.  If you can find a transducer and get it to work you'll have a sonar unit.  How much will it be worth then, and how well will it work after that is anybody's guess.  If it will show you the depth, you'll have a depth finder.  If it will show you fish, you'll have a fish finder.  If it will show you your jig or your bait, you'll have a real fish catching tool.
    Good luck in your search, but if you don't find the missing transducer save your spare change for a good, high end unit.  I'm partial to LCDs, but the asphalt kid and I are in the minority on that one.

Madcity master,
Try Ebay, sometimes people will post some relic or a piece of a relic on the fishing board.  It's worth a try!  Keep trying and trying!!  I had found a transducer for an older Apelco unit on Ebay, what a find.  Good luck - Barleydog

Here is a site that the company said it helped develop the seascope. It may help.

You can try contacting Airmar, they make transducers and know most everything there is to know about them.

[stripernut]

No I did not... But if he is still looking, Airmar can help!!

Are you kidding?
Even if Airmar could get him a transducer the unit ($1.50) + the new transducer($ ?) would be worth a 1/10th the transducer would cost at best.
As for usefulness a new $100 unit would be 100 X more effective.

[stripernut]

I agree, but he asked where he could get a transducer...
