  Hi Chris and Bob -

  I appreciate your interest in this subject. Bob, keep us informed on any 
further developments on ASL and possible surplus equipment.

  Thank you for your responses!

    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

      Hi Bob,

          I don't think that we would be very interested in old 24 bit 
digitizers, but I note that 138 stations are effected. We might well be 
interested in secondhand sensors if any are being scrapped.
          Do you have any details, please?

          Regards,
