Would you know exactly what it could measure on the autobox :?:

My Lucas Laser has has a simplistic voltage measurement for the autobox that fluctuates all over the place and haven't a clue what I'm supposed to deduce from it :!: :roll: :lol:

all answers are much appreciated everyone. if anyones close my address is wa8 8an? cheshire 07771 538516 alan.


Hi Alan,

GenRad no longer exists as a company, they have been swallowed up by larger companies and no longer have any support/parts or info on the FDS2000 range.

I have been in contact with the companies who took them over, both in the UK and the USA and they were surprisingly helpful and spent a lot of time and effort looking into it for me.

So we are on our own :)

On the upside, my geeky electronics friend reckons they are pretty basic electronically (1992 technology) and could easily be repaired with off the shelf parts
