I am cleaning out stuff I don't use, trying to find a good home for some and trying to find a use for others.

Has anyone found a use for a 'brand new' old blueprint machine??ÿ Teledyne Rotolite SL42/20F - rollers and heaters work well.

How about JPL geodetic antenna's (GPS L1 and L2) machined out of a block of aluminum??ÿ

?ÿ

I remember running blue prints on rain days, hated toing that and smelling the ammonia, definitely painful to make 10 sets of some Engineering plan sets that were sometimes 30 sheets.?ÿ

The JPL antenna sounds like a cool bit of history, but my storage space is full. Best of luck finding it a new home.

Would you mind posting a pic of those antennas? I'm up to some off the wall stuff with my javad units.

At one time the Trimble folks were setting up a museum of old/odd GNSS and survey gear, they might value your JPL antenna.?ÿ Sorry, I do not know who to refer you too but will ask around.?ÿ

Nate and DC Kelley,?ÿ I doubt Trimble would want my Leica 504's and I currently hang them as wall art and get to tell stories about them.?ÿ Gnss amplifiers cost more than a new geodetic antenna.?ÿ

Was thinking some of you music aficionados could help me find a way to cast stereo soundwaves.?ÿ Not wanting to get rid of the antennas just repurpose them.
