Since the entry was posted yesterday,I have been able to make a temporary connection to at least test what we have works,by inspecting inside the computer box, I could trace down the required pins that need hooking up to the B & G sixty knot display.We still would like the correct plug,so please do contact us if you have one to spare.
With a decent readout from the type C mast head unit and a breeze supplied by a hot air gun set on low,we get a steady read out at 14 knots.
Heath Robinson would be quite at home in this workshop,the cups on the MHU are actually spinning very well,the camera has just frozen the action.
The Hout Bay Yacht Club needs a wind speed display down on the marina,this will indicate what the wind speed is down there and if we add a factor of 20% give the sailing fleet a good idea of what the wind speed is in the bay? I have the main parts of the system,this includes the original C type MHU ( mast head unit) and cable.There is also a wind speed indicator which reads to 60 mph (miles per hour) and we see that now and again in Hout Bay.
The insides look really good,the fuse works and I hope the system does too,I am busy drying out the desicator tube on the left of the board,it unscrews and needs drying when it shows pink,its dry when its blue.
The owners hand book says it was printed in 1975,so we are looking at equipment that is now some 36 years old,will it work,time will tell.
The plug we need is the missing one on the left,its for the output cables, externally it looks exactly the same as the one next to it,which is a male pin with 10 pins inside it,we need the female plug with 10 holes instead,have you got one,if so can we have it please! (we will pay postage of course)

The owners hand book,do you have a set of this type hidden away and doing nothing,if so can we have it as spares,we really just require the ten pin female plug and wire that fits the grey control box and feeds the instrument displays,have you got one,can the HBYC have it please?
