what is considered expensive and what is reasonable?
I would like a dro for my smithy and they offer one for ( last I looked just over $700.00 dollars for a 3 scale system )

I believe they are the encoder type.

Hi Jerry,
I'm a long way from Washington, so local pricing isn't something I can comment on, but to answer that folks will need to know if that is fitted, or supplied as a kit, glass, magnetic or capacitive scales and the functionality of the reader, basic readout or one with all the calculators.

Hello Rick

Some times it takes me awhile to get my ducks in a row when it comes to completing a thought,

anyway the brand is Shooting Star Technologies out of Canada.

The DRO system is a three axis rack and pinyon encoder type, I know nothing about DROs other then what there supposed to do.

Retail is $750.00
any thoughts would be helpful!

Thanks.

Jerry.
