Hi Ken,

I have two Sprengnether drums brand new in the box, never been unpacked. You 
can have one of these for $50 if you will pay the shipping charges. They are 
packed in the original wooden crates by Sprengnether and ready to ship. They 
are the top-of-the line Sprengnether drums only. You will have to mount a pen 
motor on them and a pen. You can then scotch tape a piece of plain paper onto 
the drum to make a classic analog seismogram. Alternatively you could run the 
drum with photosensitive paper that Sprengnether designed them to use. The 
manual and the optics and everything you need to do this is packed in the 
crate with the drum. It consists of a beautiful very sensitive galvanometer 
that reflects a light beam onto the photosensitive paper to draw the line. 
The galvanometer is sensitive enough to record the seismic signal directly 
from a seismometer without an amplifier. The output of your Lehman would 
probably drive it without amplification.

Best regards,
Cap
