The balistic pendulum from Pasco works just fine and I have not had to
tinker with them. The student set them up run the lab take them down all
without intervention on my part. Having said that I am not completely sure
it is worth 140 bucks more overall, as I have found the old pendulums need
only minor inkering each time you do the lab.

Greetings,
We, at El Camino College, are about to purchase 34 new
ballistic pendulums. We were originally going with the
old-style Cenco BPs when the new style by PASCO, were
pointed out to us in a catalog. Has anyone had enough
experience with both to comment on whether the pasco
type is worth the extra 140.00? The old style works,
but constantly needs tinkering.
Leon
