Equipment Repair

[Heian]

Hi all,
I want to make a big shout out to IIS member Ken Harrison! (Merlin66) :bowdown: :clap:

I recently purchased a spectroscope on IIS and found it needed some repair work after transport.
The scope was one that Ken Harrison designed some 13 years ago, a Spectro L200.

When I contacted him about the damage, Ken graciously offered to have a look and make any repairs as required. I did purchase the vital part and Ken installed it and calibrated the spectroscope before sending it back to me.

many thanks to Ken for his time and willing help
:)

regards
Mark Dawes

Really nice that members offer expert help to others. It’s a real community service. I can say costs are never fully recovered and it’s more a labour of love. I applaud members going things like this! Makes it a backbone of our small society “pay it forward “ is the greatest thing that is self rewarding

Biggest thrill and most rewarding in my career was formally teaching. I got to work with this I taught to take them from unknown to great technicians. That’s was the reward. And made me look good from a well oiled workshop
