tekna was a major scuba manufacturer until 1990. there products were top notch. I didn't realize there was a difference in analog gauges since I havn't used one for a while. here is a link for you, it's only $17

I have one bought in 1971. It is a ScubaPro. Looks just like the one in the link. I'm not about to sell it. Not sure what you mean by non-solid construction? A capillary depth gauge - by its very nature - is just a small, clear tube that is plugged at one end and attached to a contrasting background with depth calibrations on it. Nothing to wear out or break! These are also VERY ACCURATE at shallow depths.
Year and a half old thread but anyway, they don't wear out but the tubing gets really bad in most of them. The good news is it's cheap and easy to replace....I have done a bunch of them.
LOL, let's wake this one. I'm looking for one.
hmm... might due to call a bud, I might have one Mitch.

asking the LDS or the LDDS ( long distance dive shop) might be a first step

eBay is your best bet, they come up from time to time. Most of the tubes are pretty badly clouded so plan on replacing it.
