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.
