Re: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A
Thats seriously small... A borescope or something they use for surgery. By the time you get that small it looks like you might as well get a proper borescope. Maybe its something you can rent, or do you know a plumber that might have one? Looks like a cheapie on like sells for ~$100 which is cheaper than I'd thought. -Curt Date: Sat, 25 Sep 2010 16:00:16 -0500 From: Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A Message-ID: a06240847c8c41079c...@[192.168.1.112] Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii ; format=flowed A double ATTABOY for Gerry!

Re: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A
Hey, you have some connection with medical types. Maybe you can find out how many uses the little vein cameras get, and then what happens to it.. My guess is the little camera is a throwaway, but is useless without the $5,000,000 machine it is connected to (with the display) And I'd guess the brand X cameras are worthless with the brand y machine and vice versa, so there is no competition for the consumables.

Re: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A
if there is any there, if doesn't go to the university junk sale. medical makes me shudder. That is about like paying DOD prices. $10 for a bandaid with a fancy name. A NEW borescope would be probably 10x cheaper. now if you knew a medial equipment tech at some hospital that does a lot of that kind of surgery, you might be able to cockaroach one camera. I am with the Chairman mao on doctors. I want to stay far away. no med shool at this univ. They probably have that stuff at the vet school, but I have no contacts there, and that stuff doesn't go to the junk sale. I think a new lower end borescope goes for about $300. I'd like to stay in the $30 range or else the new head gasket gets attractive.

I would think anyone in the medical equipment biz could arrive at that type of instrument, as in arthroscopic surgery equipment or that other stuff they shove up your groin to examine your heart and do surgery there - that all has lights, action, camera. Cost being no problem. Perhaps with your glow-in-dark doors sources, this type of equipment comes up used from time to time? mao ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A
This is close, but it does not give the dimension. Looks like 10-12mm www.buy.com/prod/new-usb-2-0-mini-camera-webcam-for-pc-laptop/q/sellerid/23962916/loc/101/213271960.html NASTY URL... But you don't count the cost of tools in the value proposition of a car, you cn use them on future cars as well. I'd just install the engine, and see how it runs. if it has low compression, then pull the head. On Sat, Sep 25, 2010 at 10:29 PM, Dieselhead 126die...@gmail.com wrote: Yeah, but it is $120 bucks.

Re: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A
This one might be it, but I like that $20 price better. These clowns want to sell a micro devise but include no dimensions of the head size or the min hole size. looks like a pake fleabay. A lot of the cameras on phones and computers (and cameras too!) are part of a circuit board, the trick is getting the imager small and at the end of a flex cable of some sort, and the rest of the bits on the hand-held part. --R On 9/25/2010 10:04 PM, Dieselhead wrote: I was just looking at the camera on the macbook.. It is maybe 3mm dia. that could be put in a .5 thick case and you would have a 4mm dia camera for pretty cheap. The megapixel camera on my motorola cell phone appears to be about 1mm lens dia. Seems to me somewhere in the computer peripherals world there should be a camera and light USB device for around $30. they put video camera on R/C planes. Those have t be pretty small and they are either wireless or record to a microSD card. Whatever that is ought to work, except for the absence of a light.

Re: [MBZ] Borescope WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A
really close! http://www.etronixmart.com/supereyes-b002-200x-usb-digital-microscope-manual-focusing-p-572.html?osCsid=ad6129ad79c64a005cb54d3ab0bcb58b appears to be 7mm dia, with light. only problem is that it is twice what I'd be willing to spend. Some other time, it would be worth the price... For most of us, this is probably IT.
