Graphs before Pixels

[GamblerPro2]

How many remember using graphs that used paper. My second and third boats had them. One was a Eagle's Mach 1 if I recall correctly which were I believe made by Lowrance and one was a Lowrance. I remember putting notes on the paper on location and time frame for future reference. Not to mention the old flashers also.

yep!
had a Humminbird Super Sixty flasher, and a Lowrance X15 paper graph on my new 1983 Bass Tracker II.........Funny stuff!

My first finder was a Super 60 ( 1979), then 2nd boat got paper graph ( 1982) , still have a paper graph in the shop collecting dust, and some old flashers.

Yep, Lowrance X15 in 1983 for my ‘82 Skeeter Wrangler knock-off (DelMagic Infinity). Good one.

I love the smell of a paper graph in the morning. I was talking with an old friend this morning about that. Sure to miss those.

I can remember the paper graphs but just barely. Did they go through a lot of paper and ink?

They don't have ink. An electrical spark burns the image on the paper.

I still have a mach one with trancducer and a roll of paper the last picture on it shows fish hanging on a hump in 28' of water. Funny this was posted because yesterday in was in my man cave and pulled it out and sent my buddy a picture of it saying how well it worked. Snow bored !!!!!

[fishnfireman]

Yes I do---thought I was king of the world when I finally got me a paper graph.

I've got an X-15 and a Humminbird Super 60 in the basement. They still worked when I took them off the boat... Dan

Before my time. Have one of the first eagles still with all its stuff. Never could get one of those big fish icons to bite...

[bassboat1]

I've got a Lowrance X-15B in the cabinet next to me, along with 6-8 rolls of paper and extra stylus . The target separation on those is 1.5" iirc - as good as modern units.

paper graphs were great , showed very nice detail also in dash flasher were a nice touch if you knew how to read them....lol

When I bought my 1990 Ranger 361V in 2005 it still had the Eagle Mach 1 on it and worked perfectly. Actually made great pics on that paper, would run it side by side with the LCX-15 MT that I put on a RAM mount to compare. Probably should have kept it when I had it removed for posterity sake.

Still have some old hardware. Humminbird Super 30 a Si-Tex FL6 a Furuno paper unit, good machine and a Sea Ranger Loran C for navigation.

This is the one I had. Loved that thing!

Had one of those myself

[BassinR83]

Yes I remember them

[billius]

I always wanted one of those paper graphs, back in the day, but of course, I couldn't afford one. Just like now, I'd love to have a couple of Helix 10's for my boat...but I can't afford them either.
