I don't think there's alot of 6993's out there, but the LND 720 is a direct replacement for the original tube - drop in. The cost is about $100 from LND, inc...
The clear is what I need. Let me see how much matrix free Autunite I have left. It's been going quite fast. The finish on the edges isn't too critical. Would...
Just let me know what you need. Outside diameter and hole size. I still have to lay out the material to figure out how many i can get. The finished surfaces...
I have a 6993 tube for one of these - It is visibly used but I will try to test and see if it still works. Do you need the whole probe or just the GM tube? If...
