Hardness tester score
#10
Well I got some time to work on it today and found a little problem. According to the manual the machine is shopped with the 1/16" ball tip in place and the 120º diamond penetrator in the accessories box.

The ball is gone missing from the penetrator tip that was on the machine and the 120º diamond penetrator tip is apparently the only thing missing from the accessories box. Oh well. I'll have to order a replacement for the 1/16" carbide ball and a new 120º penetrator. Those shouldn't be overwhelmingly expensive, and I have contacts at MSC who could get a big discount off their list price.

EDIT: Looks like it was a 1/16" steel ball. I may have one, but if not that's an easy thing to get from McMaster-Carr or other sources. I couldn't find any replacement part on MSC's website for the 120º penetrator so I'll call them in the morning. This should be an easy fix to have it 100% as new.
