I as well as several others out there are still using the old BN equipment. For the most part everything works well. Finding parts is getting tuff and that is why I am posting. I have found several places that repair cards but other parts are hard to come by. I need to get a velocity to displacement converter (100mv/mil) pn#14386--01. I can still get the 200mv/mil (14386-03)from just about every place.

Does anyone have any old BN parts laying around that may have one of these? If so please let me know. Thanks

METRIX instrument co. manufactures some of the accessories where we can easly replace without any modification in the system. Try to have a look on the Metrix web site which will be of help to you..

If the velocity to displacement converter is external and produces 200 mv/mil then you just need to divide the signal in half. A simple voltage divider may work; your I&C people may be of help.

Please don't take this as an insult Jason, but I think it is a crime that NRC restrictions and regulations have you scrounging for parts for a system that was obsoleted almost 20 years ago. I also wonder if public safety is really served by reactor systems that cannot be upgraded to new technology.

I agree with you, if I added up the hours and cost of the research that has been involved with the searching we could have easily had the replacement paid for. This is something I have been working on but unfortunately this is a 2+ year process.
