Hi Salem
Where did you find the '68 radar. I was told there were none available anywhere and the factory guy looked and could not find any.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much,
Hap

Hello Hap,

Sorry for the late reply. I didn't see your message before today.
The Diamond factory in austria found an overhauled unit for me.

I am sure it should be possible to find a used / serviceable or overhauled unit as many people are upgrading to more recent radars.

Not cheap but they seem to have units :
