Mr Quillen can't be found these days..... have no idea where he is now days.

There was not much in the form of instruction sheets that came with that balancer.

I have experience on the Quillen machine..... not the most accurate, but better than razor blades.

That is a RC machine........ Quillen once built a slot version that I tested and used for a short time.

At one time I manufactured R/C motors in a former career. . .

I owned one of those machines and they are extremely accurate.

We performed comparison testing against various balancers. . .

That is a dual plane strobe balancer and will do just fine balancing R/C arms.

I have not talked to Art in many years. If you track him down let us know, it would be interesting to know what new thing he is doing now.

Does it have the test blank? If not, you are dead in the water.

Can you elaborate on this?
If you didn’t have one could you fabricate one?

You are responding to a 10 year old thread, asking someone a question who is seldom on here.

Maybe try FB for your answer.

Most likely not.

Greg Wells would certainly know, but I'm not aware of any function where you are notified when someone quotes your post.

If you haven't figured it out, while he wasn't in 2011, John Miller is the current owner of Proslot.

Like I said,"I'm not aware of any function where you are notified when someone quotes your post."

I never get notified so either no one has ever quoted me, or the default settings is not to send a notification.

Regardless, I don't recall that last time John posted her.

If you are anxious for an answer, contact him on FB.
