Upgraded, stub tuned, Tektronix SG-504 leveling head back online for a last run


 

Hello All:
Since I posted the DIY for this item on hackaday.io I let the built Ebay items sell out.
However, lately I have been getting requests to purchase this item again. 3 times in this week alone.
So I've gone thru my parts bins and I am posting the last remaining items for sale based on my parts stock.

Perhaps some more SG 504 instruments came on the market sans the head. They are getting a bit rare now.

This is it on EBAY...
.

For a direct purchase from me there's a 10% forum discount. I have reserved a few for u guys. In 30 days I'll list all stock on EBAY.

Ancel,

I might have been one of the inquiries. What is the total cost, including postage to US Zip code 72834, if I buy through this forum, Not from e-Bay?

Thank You.


 

$119.50 shipped snail mail.


 

Ok, All Leveling heads purchased are shipping in the morning.
Thanks for your patience. Got slightly swamped having to build and calibrate 10 of these items in the last few days.
The Ebay items all sold out as well.

I'll be doing one more small batch of 4 or 5 soon, if anyone wants to reserve one, now's the time. Unlikely that I'll have time to do more anytime after that for a while.


 

Hi Folks:
I am currently fulfilling a couple orders which exceeded my parts stock levels.
Based on the very positive response a few weeks ago, I decided to extend the offer on the Calibrated leveling heads at the 10% discount (119.50 shipped) off the EBAY prices as I have restocked a small quantity of components again for 10 units.
So If you need a discounted, built & calibrated leveling head with all factory new components> Please contact me : protofabtt@...
Worldwide snail mail as usual. Please note that Africa & S. America customers can take 8 weeks to get theirs. US is usually 3 weeks tops, Canada varies from 3 to 6 weeks depending on location.
I believe everyone got their units from the last batch so no lost items.

BTW, one went to Hiroshima. First time shipping there....I guess everyone knows where that is.

Hello all:
I am shipping the last new SG 504 heads out tomorrow and there are 2 calibrated units c/w lemo cables left in this batch still available.
$119.50 shipped (postal) paypal.
cheers

Thanks to all and sundry in the group for their support.
All the ordered leveling heads have been shipped out, including the item ordered this morning.
I believe there are enough parts in my stock for another 3 or 4 units should demand recur.

Stub tuning to compensate for each build is a custom activity, but it is the only way to reliably exceed Tektronix head specs by a significant and meaningful margin and breathe a bit of extra life into the excellent SG-504 plug-in.
