As long as you don't shoot it, Chrony's last and last
had mine since 2014..never a problem ... just takes a little more set up time
though i have gone through a lot of 9volts from leaving the machine on

Shooting Chrony has been out of business for a few years now unfortunately. I have an older blue one which is called the Master Beta. Don’t think they could have come up with a better name at all. Still works great!

Did a guy by the name of Rube design the "skyscreens" for those old Chronographs? I too have one of the old metal box Chronys. While rather fussy once you know the unit, the only thing that kills them is projectiles. Tho there are times I feel like shooting those skyscreens. I think I paid 99 bucks for it well over 20 years ago. A new 9 volt battery and it is GTG.

It's likely laying in a post office facility somewhere. Oh well can't get it fixed anyway. I think they are still about 99 bucks for a basic chronograph. The newer hang on the barrel type appear to be convenient. I'll stick with my old school chrony, heck at this point I take pride in the fact it has no holes in it.

Shooting Chrony. Good units for the price, but temperamental about lighting - artificial lighting solves the problem. Had one for a while, but its absolute value was never that accurate (as judged by comparative testing with other chronographs)*. That doesn't matter at all for most intents and purposes, only for competitions where velocity is checked for adherence to some rule.

* I suspect this was a matter of "screen spacing" accuracy. Today I'd measure it up, but at the time I didn't think of it.

They are fussy lighting wise. I have seen kits to replace those wacky skyscreens with artificial light instead. They are workable as is.
