Hi Ken,
I have two Sprengnether drums brand new in the box, never been unpacked. You
can have one of these for $50 if you will pay the shipping charges. They are
packed in the original wooden crates by Sprengnether and ready to ship. They
are the top-of-the line Sprengnether drums only. You will have to mount a pen
motor on them and a pen. You can then scotch tape a piece of plain paper onto
the drum to make a classic analog seismogram. Alternatively you could run the
drum with photosensitive paper that Sprengnether designed them to use. The
manual and the optics and everything you need to do this is packed in the
crate with the drum. It consists of a beautiful very sensitive galvanometer
that reflects a light beam onto the photosensitive paper to draw the line.
The galvanometer is sensitive enough to record the seismic signal directly
from a seismometer without an amplifier. The output of your Lehman would
probably drive it without amplification.
Best regards,
Cap
