: I have a 272 for sale for $6,000 ready for
: shipping to you. Value at $17,000 and fits
: 4 different gray scale recorders, and fits
: for lap top recording, when your laptop
: has over 20 GIG of space.
: Original Klein 520 or EGG-272 used to sell
: only to OIL-RIG survey teams, at a market
: price from $72,000 to 142,000. The Klein
: was sold about a decade ago to the CHINESE
: about 15 units/complete sets with a very
: large complement of paper at $142,000 each.
: My unit is at $6,000 for the first diver.
: I have complete BLUE prints for the
: ENTIRE KLEIn circuits, for repait purposes,
: and noticed that ther circuits between
: Klein and EGG are identical. I have myself
: manufactured about 80 PZT crystals before
: I could realy re-design the fish with
: a dual fully focused, 1/2 phase compensated
: fish for extremely high resolutuion at
: 100Khz, then a set at 500 KHZ for a test
: run, one test run only. The resolution
: may approach 0.4 degree resolution, but
: then again, water density claimed the rest,
: provided the fish was under the termocline.
: Chaw compadre. steve
: The fish carries a Borosilicate depth sounder
: for avoidance purposed, a second one for
: head on colision. It saved the fish on
: two occassions.
: : Does anyone have an opinion on a older Model 272 with paper readout? Our Wesmar is down, till the stylus drivebelt is repaired, and looking at a another SS at $4k. Is it worth that much? Thanks for input and good hunting next season. Bob
I WILL KEEP IT SHORT AND SWEET. THIS GUY IS FULL OF MORE BULLSHIT THAN IN A BULL's BOWEL. HOW DO I KNOW? I HAVE BEEN IN THE BUISNESS MORE THAN 30 YEARS AND I DO WORK AT KLEIN. PAY NO ATTENTION TO HIM.
