Stocking new and used CDI and Bird® items.

Dear valued customers and friends.  After 20+ years I am exiting the used test business.  Used items are no longer being purchased or taken in trade.  Every in stock item is being listed on this web site as time permits.

There are several reasons but the first is spending time with my family. A close second is financial.  Calibration costs last year were in excess of $12,500.  With the fluctuation in prices it is next to impossible to buy used have it repaired, calibrated and still make a profit. My calibrator in Italy can no longer buy replacement element lids so the repaired elements do not meet my cosmetic standards.  The latest batch of repaired / recalibrated elements looks like woodpeckers opened the elements not a certified lab.  Lastly it is increasingly difficult to update this web site.  Every time the antivirus or windows updates they lock me out of the ports front page uses for ftp. Which leads to sold items not being marked sold or removed promptly. I will do my best to fill your needs with the stock remaining, but when items are sold there is nothing that can be done.  There will be no more used added.

Mounting a meter movement in a 43-----

 

The current mounting is:

 

43 cabinet

foam 1

movement

foam 2

meter ring

The meter ring is attached directly to the cabinet with 2 screws, no spacers

 

OLDER Bird 43 had:

3 rubber bumpers to stand off and shock mount the movement from the front of the case (foam 1)

and a rubber ring between the movements and the meter ring (foam 2)

The foam for both the rear and front shock mounting can vary depending on

43 / meter ring / meter movement so I don't stock the foam.

The rubber bumpers are no longer made or sold.

 

 

 

The DC Cable = cable connecting the meter to the line section

Should be attached to the meter movement as:

 

 

BOTTOM NUT   (this should never be loosened OR REMOVED)

Flat Washer

Spade lug

Flat Washer

TOP NUT

 

There should always be a “BOTTOM NUT” on the meter movement it keeps the inner wiring in place.   If you remove it the meter will have a very high chance of being damaged internally.
