Default Lowrance 3500 depth gauge

So, another issue I have is my Lowrance 3500 gauge is on its last leg. At least 3-4 of the LED tick marks that make up the numbers are burnt out.
My question is what have you guys used to replace this item? I want to stay with the gold bezel theme.
Could I use the same transducer by splicing into the wire?

Thanks all!

    Unfortunately, replacing it is the only option. Lowrance discontinued these many years ago, and also hasn't serviced them for years. To replace, you'll have to buy a whole new system, including the transducer , since the Lowrance 3500's transducer operates in a frequency band not compatible with any other equipment. Occasionally you'll be able to find a Lowrance 3500 on eBay, but because these are in such high demand, they have been known to fetch hundreds of dollars for used units...

    If I remember correctly, the later model Mariahs used Faria depth gauges, because they had the gold bezel and a similar look.

    Good luck!
