Anyone have any idea how much it's worth paying for a complete old autopilot from the 1970s? It's a scruffy looking Pinto with a control unit, electronic compass and an electric motor with a toothed drive sprocket.

Are these things reliable (or cheaply/easily servicable) and are there still loads of them about?
(And if so, where?!)

Thanks in advance.

Up to £40 on ebay - no more. Most people want a system that talks to the GPS (I just swear at mine). Personally I was never a fan of the Pinto - used the Neco on 2 cruisers in the 70's and would love to find one for Spectrum Too. Mike
