Came across a possible addition to the tool library...while looking around a UK forum for diagnostic tools for us "tisk-tisk" injected model owners, It seemed that any mini's before 96 can't be hooked into a OBD2 fault reader and back in the mid 80's the 'Crypton' scope was the fo shizzle for diagnostics [link]
On a whim I searched craigslist and found a guy selling [this] one for ~$395 asking price in Snohomish. Looks to be in good shape and not all banged up.
Considering this item is like a 8o's PC, it could probably sell for less and prove useful for a lot of members looking for a professional level non-invasive tool that can be used on pre 1996 cars. (remember garages in the eighties charging about $100 a pop?)
This thing takes a chunk of floor space and with a 40 page user guide, it isn't for the timid or inexperienced, but a real time saver in the right hands. I'd like to address this at the next meeting. Something like this tried before? Comments?
Cheers,
Mike Furman
