Jerry,

I found the following in the archives:

I believe that this is a 3-component force balance accelerometer. 

Kinemetrics made them from scratch in order to produce a

reasonably-priced product.  It triggers on an earthquake and sends

analog data to a central recording system.  It predates modern MEMS

accelerometers, will only detect strong local earthquakes, and should

only be purchased for a lot less than this vendor thinks it's worth. I'm

sure Larry's system will be better and reasonably priced.

Hope that helps.

I had previously addressed this to Chris, but will also ask the group:

 

Please enlighten me on a Seismic Switch, specifically a Kinemetrics TS3,
which is currently on EBay.  Would it be worth anything; salvage parts
maybe?   Is it sensitive enough for teleseismic sensing?
