Hans;

If you can find your info to convert the gauge, I would love to see it.

Thanks

Joe,
If it is any consolation; so did I.
If you don't care what your dial looks like you can use a Sunpro gauge,
model CP 7983 (google it), which is a direct fit and are offered on line
between$11 and $20.  If it is important for you to keep the Lukas face and
housing you can actually mount this model's Sunpro guts (system) in the
Lukas housing with Lukas pointer and dial as I did. If you are interested, I
I'l try to dig up the  photos and procedure, which I put together sometime
ago  for another list member.

Hans

Well, it took me 53 years to accomplish the task but I finally broke the
capillary tube on the TR3a water temperature gauge. I do remember seeing
look-alike electric versions of this unit. Anybody know the source for the
gauge and the sender?
