A couple of places are selling the Heathkit arms surplus for a few hundred
dollars. A great deal for the price, in fact I'm considering getting a
second one for spare parts and arm-wrestling. :+) Dunno if they have the
precision you need for your application, but then I don't know if you can
afford the presision you need for your application....
