New Oehler Model 35

Please post up a review on it once it arrives, I have been considering one for years but just keep using the ol Chrony, and buying powder and bullets with the extra cash instead of the 35. ;)
 
Curious as to what happened to your old Oehler 35? I have an Oehler 35P that I've had since the 80's. It quit reading velocities and acting strange. Called Oehler and they said clean the plugs on the skyscreens with a piece of leather or course cloth. Nothing abrasive. I polished the plugs and cleaned with electronic cleaner and it works perfectly again. They said over long periods of time the metal of the plug ins oxidize a little and cleaning off the oxidation that you can't even see, will fix the issues I was having.
Sorry I just reread your post and you said Oehler 33 instead of 35.
 
HAVE one of each, 33 and 35P, and both are going strong since I got the first, the 33, in 1983. The 35P was obtained a bit later to also obtain downange ballistics simultaneously.
And so it goes...

PS: My first was a model 10. WHO remembers those ??
 
Anyone use the the 35P with the 2' rod (just two screens), rather than the 4' rod (3 screens with two readings)?

I only have the 2' rod and two screens (no verification 2nd reading), and it sucks - very crazy readouts. Have to ignore/ discard most. Need the longer pole and additional screen.

Where can I order this? Thanks.
 
Screen Spacing

My old 33 has a manual setting inside the cover to specify the spacing. I've used a 6' and a 4' successfully. You'll be amazed at how helpful the Oehler folks are.

How did you wind up without the standard third screen on a 35P?
I'm not surprised it's giving you trouble/ :rolleyes:

Get the third screen directly from Oehler:

and plug it into the middle channel.

I've been running a 2-foot bar/single swivel-head photo tripod
for a dozen years. Totally reliable/simple to set up each time/
-everything [including tripod] goes into a single guncase that
I bought after the original cardboard shipping box got worn to
a frazzle.
