Motorized semi rigid cable stripper Omni Spectra
« on: December 10, 2014, 10:53:16 am »
"They" are cleaning out the storages here, and I see a Omni Spectra/Macom semi rigid cable stripper. Motordriven and with a manual micro meter adjustment. Remember using this 20 years ago :) We are now using micro computer controlled all-singing-and-dancing-do-it-all-stripper  :-DD

Question is if I should pick it up or let it go to scrap?.... Could be handy just for getting a nice "strip" not especially for crimping SMA connectors. But my basement getting filled up with all sorts of useful gadgets  :phew:

Tried to search the web, but seems this one was extinct before the web and left no trace.

Aren't there already enough videos of strippers on the web?

I'm with you, if I had the space such an item would be welcome, but on the basis that I would only use it once or twice a year, I'll stick with the sharp knife, a box of blades and rickety pipework.

Edit: I wonder how much those things cost when new?

I've a feeling that the non-motorized version was about £1000 in the early 90s
