I am looking for a Brinnell hardness tester. I dought if LBT (Judy Smith) has any left. Would anybody have an idea where I could get one? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, Jack:
Never say that at an airport Anyhow, LBT testers show up on EBay, etc. but they don't go cheap. Redding still makes the Saeco. http://www.redding-reloading.com/pag...esstester.html

Cabine Tree makes one of their own design and I think a forum member has one.

Thanks Jack,
I will be checking EBay. I didn't think about that. I also will check out the two web sites. Again thanks.

P.S. I guess you get that all the time also. About the airport.

I have the "Gussy" tester from Cabin Tree.

Real nice well built and simple unit. The nice thing about it is you can also measure ingots and chunks of alloy in non-bullet form.

Comes with a very good conversion table and doesn't take too long to get the "feel" of operating it.

They also sell a dual purpose model that is also a concentricity guage/hardness tester. Both use the supplied dial indicator.

He also has other items you might find of interest.


Regards
