Subject: Portacorder = RV-320
Hi all,
After wanting a Helicorder = of my very own for a long time, I've gotten ahold of
a Geotech Portacorder = RV-320, which after some repairs is working. Geotech
(geoinstr.com) very nicely = sent a manual for an RV-320B for free, but the B
seems to be the next model, = about 10 years newer than mine. Does anyone
have a manual for the older = RV-320 (circa 1977)?
Also, I seem to have the smoked-paper version, does anyone know how horrible that =
is to work with, and = where might I get some appropriate paper (for relatively low = $)?
Thanks,
Jack
