SOUTH TOTAL STATION

I give you 20 yen for Chinese transit.
:totalstation:

WELL SINCE I AM NOT CHINESE I DON'T KNOW WHAT 20 YEN IS SO INFORM ME?

Yen is Japanese currency.

WELL WHATEVER IT IS I HAVE A FEELING HE IS BEING A SMART---! ANYWAY THE INSTRUMENT WORKS VERY WELL WE JUST UPGRADED.

I also have a South instrument that my grandfather decided to buy from Canada. I was told by a dealer that they perfected the 2 year disposable instrument and they are not worth the plastic that holds them together. In other words, good luck.

WELL WE HAVE USED THE INSTRUMENT FOR THREE YEARS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.

I also have a South instrument. We have had no problems. South makes the lower end instruments for Topcon and Sokkia, and the total station I have is the same as the Topcon, with a different badge. I would love to have a complete Trimble setup, but cannot justify the extra cost.
I look at it this way, a BMW or or Mercedes is a top of the line vehicle and I would love to have one, but the Ford Taurus can get me there in the same manner, just not as fashionable.

THANK YOU. 🙂

Tells me all that I need to know.

about 1 dollar. Sounds about right for something made in China.

IF YOU HAAVEN'T CHECKED LATELY MOST OF THE PRODUCTS WE PURCHASE ARE MADE IN CHINA

> IF YOU HAAVEN'T CHECKED LATELY MOST OF THE PRODUCTS WE PURCHASE ARE MADE IN CHINA

That's why I go out of my way to check labels before buying anything. 🙂

you don't have to holler!

LOOK GUYS WHEN I PURCHASED THE INSTRUMENT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS MADE IN CHINA I WAS JUST LOOKING FOR AN AFFORDABLE INSTRUMENT TO GET THE JOB DONE, IT HAS DONE THAT FOR ME. IT IS NOT A BAD INSTRUMENT FOR SOMEONE WHO IS JUST STARTING OUT AND NEEDS SOMETHING UNTIL THEY GET ENOUGH MONEY TO PURCHASE SOMETHING MORE EXPENSIVE. OR MAYBE ALL OF YOU MAKE PLENTY OF MONEY.

He aint hollerin' he's just in AutoCAD mode.

WELL FORGET IT, IT IS SOLD.:-O

Easily the best thread on this site. I vote we open a beerleg hall of fame.

What did it sell for?

DDSM;-)

I'd rather have a South Instrument than a Topcon any day of the week!
