lowrance green box

[SmilinBob]

I recently recieved 2 lowrance green boxes that don't appear to work, I messed with them a bit and it seems like its the transducers that are bad, is there any fix to them ,or should I just get rid of them, thought they might be nice for ice fishing.

Hi...

I have a feeling that technology is a thing of the past and a fix may be out of the question. I have one and it proudly takes it's place in my antique equipment collection. My does work and I have used it on the ice just for grins. It's nothing compared to my LX-3...

My suggestion, with all the modern sonars on the market, get one of those for the ice. I recommend the Marcum LX-3. A bit spendy, however it's worth EVERY penny!! Then, keep the one in best condition and sell the other. There are collectors out there chomping at the bit for those things...

Unless the cord to the transducer is cut or broken, I doubt the transducer it self is bad. The big down fall to using those old things is they pick up interference from anyone fishing near you.

they were free so I thought I would give em a try. nothing lost.

New transducers can be used with the lowrance green box. When I used to work at scheels I ordered a few in for customers. It will require both a transducer and a transducer adapter that will fit with the older unit. I don't remember the specific model numbers but I will cost you in the neighborhood or $80 for both. That's usually more money than the unit itself is worth. An hsolist search is another option.

I have a couple from my grandpa that are still in the box!

Lowraance Low-K-tor right?

I would be interested in letting one go if you know of a collector

The two places I'd recommend advertising your item is here on the FM "for sale" forum or hsolist. Personally I'd try FM first due to the fact you KNOW avid sportsman will see it.
