Autohelm ST50 tri-data & multi display

[jonaf]

Does anyone have a parts source for the LCD module (I think it is part# Q021) that was incorporated into these instruments? I have several st50 display units where the LCD's are shot--either from sun or moisture (or both).

Or.....do you have any of these instruments that need a new LCD display? I've found a source that can replicate them however the initial tooling cost is $1,000+. If there is enough interest, we might be able to put in a shared order. If 40 are ordered I am told the cost would come down to about $30 / a piece ( a far cry from the $500 that is being asked for the st60's or st60+).

Hi jon, Did anything ever come of this? I'm also looking for an ST50 wind display.

Any luck on finding the LCD's for the ST 50

I have an ST-50 tridata display in working condition, but it gets moisture inside and acts up, because the screw seats are compromised. I would be very interested in replacing it. I do not want to upgrade to ST-60 for two reasons, cost is one, also regardless what they tell you it is not a simple replacement thing. I did it on another boat and ended up replacing more instruments and a significant cost because of "software incompatability" (as per manufacturer...) So if a good package is put together, I would be interested.
