Chris,
We have a Horn Analyer that is about 10 years old. Can you tell me where we could get it calibrated, or if this is something we should be concerned with?
If it uses a digital frequency meter I probably wouldn't worry about it - not much to go out of calibration there. But if you're having problems and need to get it checked out then I'd suggest:
1. the original manufacturer
2. a local electronics / TV repair shop - it shouldn't be too difficult to hook up an ocsilloscope to the output and verify the frequency that way.
A new online ultrasonics components store has just opened at www.UltrasonicsWorld.com. Check their amazing prices for replacement ultrasonics components, fully compatible with the major manufacturers' originals at a fraction of the cost.

In trials, oil beds in Russia and Romania demonstrated successful results with an overall average efficiency of 200% oil flow compared to normal (double the flow rate).
