BigFiveJackOEHLER On It's way To Me 09/04 !!! See Bottom Post In Thread -
{Same Question Posted In BIG BORES so you only
need to respond in one or the other, thanks}
O.K. Below are the links to the OEHLER announcement and
to a really
LOADED CED M2 shopping cart from CED
direct. Honestly look at the CED package and compare it
to the very impressive package from OEHLER.
Now I seriously ask, is this unit better than owning TWO
CED M2 units fully decked out with battery pack and car-
rying case? The Oehler is $595 & CED $612.00 both shipped.
http://www.oehler-research.com...4ff2a3b2a+1278345065http://www.cedhk.com/shop/cart.phpCED has an infrared accessory usable in ZERO light, yes,
NO sunlight NOR any light. Can Oehler do that? NO SARCASM
HERE! I just want to make the wisest choice. If OEHLER
was selling at $400.00 there would be no question, but at
$600.00 a bit more fact finding is in order. REALLY, it
seems I could buy a super package from CED and an entire
additional CED M2 Chrono Set for about the same as the OEHLER
package offer. So what's the RIGHT move?

bigfatsBFJ,
Good going on the 35P, you're gonna be glad you did it.
I had read where Oehler was calling it quits with their chronographs but it looks like they had a change of heart. Good people to deal with and excellent products so I hope they continue to be around.

Idaho SharpshooterKen Oehler is a neat guy. Outside of Austin he has a pecan orchard, and his former M43 training school. He also has his original 1965 mustang coupe he bought new. I am glad to see he is back in business.

eezridrMy understanding is that Oehler never ceased business, they just discontinued sales and marketing their consumer chrono's. They always were willing to service the old 33's and 35's if there was a problem. I have drug my 35 all over the place and it is like a old Timex (takes a licking and keeps on ticking)

tetonkaPlus one for Bigfats. Oehler has always stood behind their product whenever I needed help, even after 25 years. Good Choice.

BigFiveJackUpdate; First orders are scheduled to be sent out by OEHLER in August.
I ordered a little late so I am likely to see mine before Sept 30.

Remember,
The bullet goes through the
BIG triangle and not the little black one at the bottom
When you set them up you'll see what I mean.
Oh and the little black triangles are rebuildable - don't ask how I know ...
