![]() Those units work well, but you have to calibrate them often. Kind of like the analog multimeters. Nothing wrong with antique test equipent: I have lots of it. The stuff just works and works forever unless you kill it somehow. I have become attached to some of those babies: I will die with some of my old sencore stuff.

![]() The instructions for calibration in the lid don't seem so bad to me. For what it cost I'm sure it'll serve my purposes. I love old tools too!

![]() My gauge has been sitting in the basement 99.9% of the time for almost 7 years..
http://ecorenovator.org/forum/geothe...project-9.html (Scroll down three posts). I've only used it a few times, so it's still like new.. Last month I used it to check out my vac pump.. Everything is still working like when it was new! ![]() Just have to remember to remove the 9V battery after each use.. And to think, I once considered selling these tools! ![]()

![]() Heck, living around Houston, learning to do AC cooling is more valuable
than being able to shoot a hunting rifle.. I lived in dry West Texas as a kid.. Visited Houston once. That was enough! Way more humid than I liked. In April 1963, when I got off the plane in Bermuda, the first thing I said, "Is this Houston"? ![]()
