Dear list,

There comes a time in any over budget, over time, hopelessrestoration project that the only rational decision is to acquire more of thesame non-functional items.  Therefore, I’mlooking to acquire an abandoned d1 digitizer, the brokener the better.  Here is a photo of what I’m looking for combined with aphoto of it in surgery: 
d1 digitizer


There was an assortment of accessories that came with the d1,which I’d certainly like to find.  Thereis a calibration tool, offset adapter and positive model adapter.  I wish I could send pictures of such but allI can find a blurry multigenerational copy of the instruction manual.  I know they exist, I just don’t know whatthey exactly look like.  If you havepictures of these and wish to share, I’d be much obliged. 

Over the years I’ve seen a couple of this gathering dust,the product of an enthusiastic owner or manager, which never quite deliveredthe efficiency and productivity promised or perhaps the practitioners justnever embraced the technology. When I reached back and contacted these shops, the d1 had been scrappedyears ago when the purchaser retired or the shop was sold. 

Best regards,

Charles
