Hi Chris -
I sent an email to ASL, to check on the availability of seismometers. =
Following is their reply.
"...The digital upgrades don't include replacement of seismometers, =
unfortunately for the PSN. However, it's possible that we will do some =
seismometer replacements in the future. We'll contact you if and when =
some old seismometers become available. Thanks for your interest!...."
Considering the pace of government, this could easily be years, so it =
does not look like anything is available at this time or in the =
foreseeable future. I will keep an eye open for this and if it =
transpires, I will let the PSN group know. As I said earlier, the last =
time this was done was about 10 years ago and involved the KS-36000 a =
cold war borescope receiver that weighed about 200 lbs without the case. =
If you do a google search on the KS-36000, you will see a few old PSN =
emails about the instrument.
Cheers,
Bob
