We have one here at the EMPF.   Other users have contacted us for help
using and maintaining the tool. The single biggest issue is vibration.
What a great idea, using a simple hand held vib meter.

The next biggest issue is air currents. HVAC systems can make a mess of
measurements.

Bev Christian and I tried to start a North American User Group. Didn't
get much action though.

I for one am really glad to see you working on it.
