Nice find. Depth finders are so advanced that you really have to go through the manual over and over again to learn all the features and tweak them to your advantage. ??? I grew up with the flashing strobe dial depth finder in the 70's. :P

I still have one, I just spotted it the other day.  Pretty cool.  I wonder if I can convert it to a side scan for off the beach?

What Units do you guys have?  I have the Furuno 620.  So far, so good.  I do need to do a little tweaking though.
