As a part of an estate sale of shooting equipment I received a red box Shooting Chrony in pretty decent shape. All I have is the chrony itself which still seems to work. I went to the website and contacted customer support to see about getting a sky shade but was informed that it is an early F1 model that has not been supported for several years and they could not help or offer any assistance. The on/off switch is inside mounted to a plate with the 9v battery, but no connector for p/c or printer connections. The display plate simply has lo batt, error and f/ps markings. I found a picture of a similar unit on the web but it must have been a newer and used the rods to support the screens.
Here's the frustrating part, the sensor blocks for the one I have does not have holes for mounting sky screen rods. The box does however have what appears to be slots in the sides next to the sensors which I assume are the mounting points for a screen. I think I can cobble something together but have no idea of what height the screens must be above the sensors to be effective.
So I now turn to the go to the shooting knowledge source of antique, archaic, obscure, vintage and cheap a$$ folks like me that won’t let anything that works go… Does anyone have an early Shooting Chrony with slip in screens that I can get an assembled picture of and possibly a copy of the Owner’s Manual?
