A member of our club donated these items. The hope is to see if anyone wants these for their collection. Any profit will be given 100% to our club, Michigan Team 1. I know that the only real value in any of this is for a collectible, not for actual usage. Due to the rules, I'm putting a price on these items, but please feel free to make offers. There is not much precedence to use for pricing these items.

Transolve Altimeter: $50
This appears to never have been flown. It is still very clean, and wrapped in the aluminum foil from Transolve. I've since put the tinfoil into an anti-stat bag. Also includes a monitor box (plugs in to read the data). There are also the printed instructions included. The box this came in had a UPS shipping label dated from 1992, so this stuff is definitely just a novelty collectors item at this point. If you wanted to fly it, I'd suggest a modern backup fly along.

Enerrgon Data Capture System: $25
Don't know really anything about this. There is some paperwork and a floppy disk with software for this. Assuming it is DOS based. Comes with a nice hard case and cabling.

As a long time CDP1802 fan I simply can't pass on the Transolve altimeter.

No reasonable (or unreasonable) offer will be refused... :)

Shipping will probably be a bit expensive for the data acq system. The case is quite large.

The Energon data capture looks like it's probably part of a motor testing set-up. Energon was a one man motor company outta Florida, the guy made single use 3" ( IIRC ) L911 motors. They were very cool, gotta see a couple fly when the FL guys made it out to LDRS back in like 95-96....

Sorry no. Another club member claimed the thrust test stand and associated load cell that went with it. This is just the basic data acq system. If somebody wants to just pay the shipping, I'd be happy to give it away. I don't even think this unit has collectible value. With a classic PC though, this system does work. If it helps seal the deal, I'll load up the software and connect it to my shop Win98 PC and get some pics of it in action.

I just hate throwing stuff away.
