That does seem like a lot of money, especially when we have so many other ways to go – have you contacted the vendors listed on the IML site for a used one?
I will comment that repairing the resistor is a MISERABLE job and I’ve quit doing it myself – and I’ll usually tackle anything!

I wondered if anyone else has sent their sending units to "Instrument Services" in Roscoe, Illinois? I sent mine off and just received a quote as follows: Mechanical Restoration $90.00 Repair Resistor $165.00 Shipping $15.00 Total w/shipping $296.00 When I phoned them initially they told me to forward it to them for an estimate, which I did and now if I choose to want my old unit back I will be charged an "evaluation charge of $25-$50 plus shipping". It kind of looks like my unit is being held hostage. The above charges seem high to me. Do any of the members have experience with "Instrument Services"? |
