Are internal parts available for Simrad-Robertson AP 45 Autopilot Control head ??

The system is operating properly but the info displays are fading out…anyone ever tried to purchase/replace the displays? If so, where did you find the parts? thanks

It was fortunate timing on my part, as I happened to be visiting Seattle so posted locally to Rich. The return was to the UK & the cost for delivery was minor.

Alternatively, if you are in the UK contact Greenham Regis in Lymington, There was a great guy, Andy Haines who retired after Greenham Regis was acquired. He has a whole lot of old spares and does some repairs on the side. They may have his contact details and he may have what you are looking after.
