Or be on the lookout for a Tek 1230 that has just died...Put the word out to
people that have one...Often when something like this dies it just goes in
the garbage. Make sure that everyone you know that knows someone that has
one knows that you will give them CASH for the entire kit and kaboodle even
though the analyzer itself has died [then you can scavange the carcass for
parts]
I have used this approach many times [on computer related and other stuff]
and it WORKS!
