Default Piper Altimatic II autopilots - anyone?

Oh, BTW, what did you go with your old autopilot? Is it still in the
airplane, or did you throw it away? I'm hoping to find enough discarded
pieces and parts to be of some use.

Bob Ferguson was the man that I talked to about the Altimatic II and I also
talked to him another time re our current S-Tec 60-2 and KLN94 regarding
GPSS roll steering (can't do it, the two are not compatible). Anyway, Bob
told me that unless the seller of the 65 C would take about $15 AMU's off
the price, forget about the airplane because that would be what it would
cost to rip out the old and install a new 2 axis, altitude hold, coupled AP.
Needless to say, we walked, and that was one of the main reasons.
