Subject: Too many sensors
From: tchannel1@............

Hi Folks,  I have accumulated several sensors, and wish to build at =
least two more.  I have been in contact with several schools, and I am =
in the process of helping them with additional sensors.   One of the =
sensors, don't know which, may go directly to one of the schools.   In =
the meanwhile, I am running out of room to store these things.

I don't want to sell them, but I would like to recover some of, or all =
of my expenses for the parts.    I am in Boise Idaho, so if someone is =
interested in one of them, and is close enough to pick it up or cover =
the shipping we might find a new home for one or more of them.

Most of you are aware of them, from the conversations, and sharing of =
information over the past months.   They are:

1.  The Copper pipe vertical,  (which I think is going to the school)
2.  The Slinky
3.  The Folded Pendulum
4.  A primitive Lehman  (no damper) not fully tested, should work?

All of these have been tested, and are amplified using Larry's board, =
and DataQ.   These are only the sensors, not the amplifier, software or =
computer.
I am pleased with their performance, and all have recorded many =
earthquakes, from 3's to 8's, from 60 miles to 9000 miles.
I can give details on each, and pictures, if you are interested.   I  =
think any of them could be shipped, ups.=20

You would need (the sensor), an old computer, and about $150 worth of =
electronics, to get up and running.

Some people are interested in this science but are limited in building =
their own.   This might be a way to get your own Seismic Station, at =
bare bones expense.

Thanks,
Ted
