Old Style VDO Masthead and Cable

Hi There,

I came across a set of brand new VDO gauges for wind direction and speed from the late 80's.

I also came across the VDO circuit diagrms and electrical info for these gauges so that maybe someone better than i can see if another masthead is adaptable?

I understand that finding the VDO mast head will be quite hard, but i'm willing to ask first to see.

Does anyone have a masthead unit, or know of the whereabouts of one?

Does any one know of a replacement unit thats compatible.

I have attached a picture of what i have so you can identify the type.

As a last result, if i cant get a suitable masthead then i will let these units go to someone who is looking for new gauges.

Cheers in advance for any help,

Matthew
