Hello Angel and others interested in these seismometers.

Bob Hutt has asked me to relay a message to the group regarding these
seismometers.

He is preparing a corrected text regarding the type of instrument this is and
what is required to operate them.  AS soon as I get a copy I will post to the
group.
Briefly, these units are about 5-6 feet long and 8-9 inches in diameter and
weigh about 150 pounds.  THey require a test box to set them up.
In addition, they must be installed in a borehole to operate correctly.
They are available for PICK UP only and none can be packed or shipped.
