I found one of these in the back of the tool room. Put some fresh batteries in it and it works :)

Has anyone used this one or one like it? The word I got was it wasn't good at finding the emitter buried 3 feet deep inside a cast iron pipe. Is there a trick to using it effectively?

Thought I might try it out next time I have the camera on my truck to see how it does.

crack, did you think that i didn't one one:confused:

it was a great machine for a number of years. i still like it, but i like the advanced features of the scout now.

nothing wrong with it and it will locate very accuratly well beyond 3'.

i still keep mine in the truck just in case:rolleyes:

take it home and play with it. push the camera into a piece of abs / pvc and no hub. walk a nuber of feet away from the pipe and also a number of feet above the pipe to get a real feeling for what it can do.

pretty soon you'll be doing "seweroscopies" like us:winknudge:

greg and ben can test you at your supper party:boring:
