From a Federal surplus sale, a Sokkia SET3B total station, with triple and single Lietz prisms. I was told by the fellow that showed me the equipment from this lot (he was an employee in the department that actually used this equipment), that they bought this machine back in the late 90s, and he thought they'd used it maybe 3 times since then, and they now need the space and decided to surplus it. Having done some surveying back in my younger days, I can definitely say that the condition of the cases is consistent with having been used 'maybe 3 times'. Everything about this set is in excellent cosmetic shape. The batteries were (unsurprisingly) dead when I got them. I charged one battery, powered it up, and the machine said it had a "data error", and then went to the screen as shown in the second photo. I presume there's some sort of watch battery inside for data retention that also died during long storage. I don't know how to use this particular machine, but it made some beeps and stuff in response to the button pushing. The upshot of all this is that I'm confident this is a working machine. You may need to replace the internal data battery, and I CANNOT guarantee that the two batteries that come with it will hold a charge very long - I only charged one to test it. I plan on checking again in a week or two to see if the battery retained the charge. In addition to the machine and prisms, there are instructions, a quick reference card, a charger, two batteries, yellow cover, a lint-free cleaning cloth, and a small tool kit. *IF* it should turn out not to work for some reason, you can return it for a refund. But please keep in mind that I am not guaranteeig the batteries, you should plan on replacing those. You will receive two packages, one for the machine, one for the prisms. Weight 36.5 lbs (Before packaging) Items ship from zip code 68512 in the U.S. Shipping costs quoted are to the continental states only, anywhere else will be more. Payment is expected within 10 days. Otherwise I reserve the right to file for non-paying bidder,and re-list the item. SHIPPING-USPS: Please note that I am NOT responsible for the time the post office takes to deliver the package. Tracking numbers will show up in the 'order details' section once I ship the item. SHIPPING-"OTHER": If the shipping is 'Other' then it is Fedex. Fedex does NOT ship to PO boxes, so please provide a "real" address. SHIPPING-COMBINED: I always do my best to combine multiple wins to save on shipping. I make full use of USPS flat rate boxes wherever possible, and will only charge you for one box if I can fit multiple wins in the same box. If you win more than one auction I will send you a new quote with new shipping. Also, I am happy to hold items for you if you plan on buying many items from me over time, in order to combine their shipping. This is at my discretion, for buyers with dodgy or low feedback. Contact me for details. FOREIGN BIDDERS:I am happy to send you a quote during the auction if you want to know how much it will cost. Items are declared as "Other: ebay". I will NOT mark them as 'gift'. I DO NOT under-declare item value on the invoice. Do not ask. SHIPPING - PACKING: I take packaging seriously. I know how fragile cast iron is. I use newspaper for small items, and packing peanuts only for very light items. I use a variety of bubble wrap and peanut-packs for most mid-size items. I do have costs associated with packaging materials, so please keep that in mind on the shipping amounts. Heavy items will be packaged using solid styrofoam block. It is very rare for the items I pack to be broken, as my feedback should attest. I do not notify the winner of when a package is shipped, unless they ask me to, because I just don't have time to notify everyone, and 95% of people never ask. LOCAL PICKUP: Local pickup is great! Especially on those large items. I can be flexible with scheduling - just ask! Powered by eBay Turbo Lister The free listing tool. List your items fast and easy and manage your active items.
