I just cleared my desk from the last 3 years "documents" and found my valuable tool, a magic crystal ball made in Suomi/Finland with special vibrating powers, nearly burnt the office once as it is a perfect magnifying glass. Reminding me of this: http://www.vtab.se/PHP-NBoard/html/images/materiali/Forum2/HTML/003457.html

Oli -

Does it replace vibration analysis for predicting equipment failures?

If we all had such a crystal ball to see the future - I can only imagine...

Glad your office is still standing!

Terry,

Sometimes all tools are needed, from the yellow handle analyzer passing the 2"x4" pine and close to the final stage of despair the crystal ball come to help So who claimed this to be a high tech black magic? Well sometimes it helps and sometimes it´s just magic and there usually are a logical reason for the sometimes strange behaviour of machinery, at least after the problem is solved. I have rarely used a crystal ball as a problem solver and it´s to brittle to use for knock testing... So it was a gift from a instrument supplier, possibly to support their expert system? Olov
