Hi all,

Ran across one particular E-Bay item/s which could provide
a excellent small seismo base plate; i.e., a S-G, or small boom
length horizontal/vertical home brew configuration, or,
whatever one can configure on the home front for the size
offered.  The auction ends January 20th.  The seller appears
to have a excellent feedback on some 7,000 odd items sold in
the past.  If one is into tools, misc electrical whatever, be sure
to check "view sellers other auctions" which has literally
hundred of items listed.  The beginning bid (none yet) is $13.99.
Stuff like this is very rare.  Go to:

http://www.ebay.com/index.html

They are 1.25" Thick, 7.25" wide and 13.375" length.  They
appear to have been machine sawed rectangular blocks and
look relatively squared.  The thickness sure won't allow much
bending under load, or any mass wandering tilt influence!

Item #'s = 541796378, 541796837, 541797076, 541797319,
541797555, 541797830, 541798213, 541798490, 541798776,
541799069.

The seller also has a more private auction site, which appears
to offer another 10 of these plates at $14.99 beginning bid, but
one would have to register and do whatever the requirements
are with that web site. No bids yet, and that ends Jan 19th.
