Hi Steve,
We have hull number 10 from 1968 and we still use the Pinta Automatic Helmsman. Due to magnetic field disturbances, I think, it works better on some courses than other.
We also have the same radio as you, but we don’t use it as I’m not able to find any stations with good enough signals.
I would have been nice to have spare parts for the Pinta, but being based in Oslo, Norway that would probably be either too expensive or to difficult.
Kind regards,
Arild
