Crazy Eddie’s® Discount Survey Equipment

by: Carl C. deBaca

Has the high price of technology got you down? Did you go to bed laughing about all those foreign countries taking a beating from the application of our patriotic tariffs, but woke up unable to afford any new survey equipment?

Well then, check out Crazy Eddie’s®. Our prices are insane! Take a look at our custom transits, super-cherry theodolites, and extremely in-demand beetle distance meters. And Eddie throws in a free add-chain with every instrument purchase. We’re blowing the crap out of high prices! Tariff- schmariff, we’ve got what you need, or more importantly, what you can afford!

With the impending collapse of the survey instrument industry, why be caught flat-footed or (US Survey Footed)? The Sokkia GTS2b with an SDR33 that only works in International Feet, is the package you need! Remember how great the Seventies were? Well now you can work just like it’s 1975! Remember those three-person field crews? It’s time to bring ‘em back!

With the patriotic tariff situation putting lithium batteries beyond the ability of most people to afford, perhaps you want to explore more ‘mature’ options. Why spend upwards of $100K on a new Leica® Robotic Total Station when Crazy Eddie’s® can put you in a better than new, upright image Wild T-1, with it’s unlimited and speedy stadia technology. As fast as you can write down three rod readings and the horizontal and vertical angles, (in your free, Write-in-the-Rain field book), the person of rod can be moving to the next point. You should be able to collect upwards of 300 points a day (real results may vary).

And if you are a GPS user, and we are not talking GNSS here, we are talking good old fashioned American GPS, then Crazy Eddie’s®, has found a supplier that can hack into the chipset on your Trimble® 4700 receiver and eliminate the terminal error that rendered them unusable at the end of 2024. With just a few minor modifications you are back in business, (but without the ability to use Glonass, Galileo or BeiDou satellites – who needs those foreign satellites, anyway?).

Come on down to Crazy Eddie’s® today! Modern technology is just a word, Vintage, is where it’s at! Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Gold bars, readily accepted
