Wanted-transducer/coaxial cable assembly for hummingbird super sixty flasher

[CALVINIST]

I posted this earlier under the "items wanted" catagory, and it disappeared from sight! Does anyone know why this happened ?

Anyway, I have an old Hummingbird Super Sixty, I used it this weekend for crappie fishing and was amazed how good it worked. The only problem is a bad transducer cable. The coaxial cable has a metal fitting (RCA style?) which screws onto the back of the flasher unit. Where the cable enters the metal fitting there is a bad connection; it works, but you have to monkey with it occasionally in order to get it to work, and it's only a matter of time before it goes completely. Does anyone have one they would be willing to part with? Or better yet, where could I get one I could splice onto the transduder cable?

Anybody?

I posted a response yesterday and then also noticed the thread disappeared.

Anyway, I have one as a spare/portable (mine is the yellow box model) and do not want to part with it but can tell you these two things. First My transducer went bad years ago and I had jim wentworth of fishlectronics in Nisswa splice in a new transducer of the same frequency to the plug end of the old ducer. As you said, it is an RCA style. This worked but wouldn't necessarily help you since your plug is what is bad.

But, another thing to consider incase you can't find the original Hummingbird ducer to replace yours, my dad once plugged his Zercom Clearwater classic flasher into my Super 60 transducer and it worked great. The Zercom Clearwater Classic also used an RCA style plug and was made much more recently than the Hummingbird. That may make it easier to find. Be sure to match frequency as not all Zercom units of even the same models had the same frequency.

Hope this helps.

I think I may have one for you - cable, conncector, and transducer. Ph. no., email or some way to contact you?
