Might want to also post this in the Fishing Forum. Might get more "bites", pun intended.

I have 2 of these depthfinders.
One is brand new in box never used
The other is used- barely
Both with original box/ paperwork
Everything that comes with it.
I got these at an auction
They were in a lot with other items
I won't use them. The price on the box was 250
By my research they were probably new
Around 2001?
What are they worth?
Do people still use them?

I'm still using mine every year. Works great. I've replaced the suction cup for the transducer but that's it. It's a bit heavy by today's standards but is exactly what a person needs for fishing out of a canoe.

I have the next gen version from Vexilar and it is still going strong. For reference I sold my LC-10 for $100 in 2007.
I think the LC-10 might be the best version they produced, has an instant read mode similar to a flasher and simple to operate.

Awesome find and quite nice. I have and use the black and white version which is what I believe those are, they did make color versions also. They only draw 50mah of juice when running and only 100mah when light is on, so the 10 batteries installed would last for a week trip just fine, just don't use new alkaline batteries in older electronics (someone told me that, don't know if its true). One other thing is put batteries in them and try them out, the transducer pucks do go bad on them and do need replacing after 7-10 years on average, you can get them at Vexilar online, just replaced mine this year. I would be willing to purchase the new one if you put a price on it, or can go auction style too.
