Autopilot

Well, my Raytheon ST 5000+ crapped out. It will engage the clutch but puts out no voltage for the drive.

I've got the type 1 linear drive that still works fine. I've applied direct 12V to the motor and it runs okay.

Unfortunately, Raytheon no longer makes the 5000. All their other units require a control head and a separate computer which is going to run way over $2000.

My question is, is there another manufacturer that has a unit that will work with the existing drive and compass? In other words, what are my options?
