Anyone know if some one has one of these or have ever used one...??

Quote:

The PERFOtronic automatically measures by rounding up or down to the next 1/4 perforation shown in stamp catalogs. The processor of the unit is able to calculate around missing perforations or perforation mistakes.
-Measures the perf. value within a fraction of a second with the help of light sensors
-Nothing touches your stamp, therefore no damage possible
-Accurate to 1/100 mm
-Displays in 1/4 increments, i.e. 14.25,14.5, 14.75, 15, etc.
-Operates on an AC adapter with 12 Volt DC output (supplied)
-Use on regular or large stamps, coils and stamps with margins
-Maintenance free
-Size: 7-1/2"x 5-1/2" x 2-1/2" High

Some sell for over 300.00 and others for over 600.00 on ebay. Some are Perfotronic and others are Perfotronic2 on there.

No never used one or know of anyone who has one, but this would be useless for a stamp that could be 10.85 or 11.1.

Many post-war Polish stamps (1945-50) have these perf varieties, for instance the 1947 'Culture' sets, the definitives, airmails & many commems have these. I'll stick to my 'Instanta'

I did a little reading on this and apparently at least on the newer version you can get readings rounded to the nearest .25 mm. I also read in one review that it can read .01 mm and .001 mm increments, if I am not mistaken, so there may be a way to select what you want to read. I could not find any data on consistency or accuracy between units so you may not get the same results from one unit to the next. I think they are a bit expensive and unless they can provide detailed information regarding standards between units I will continue using a merit gage to measure perforations.

I think that there is a difference between Perfotronic (1) and Perfotronic 2 for perforations. So far I stay away from such electronic gadgets and even perforation measuring programs using a scanner.

I'd be surprised if this gadget sold very many units. It's a several hundred dollar solution to a problem that can be solved for as little as a buck or two (although I know specialist gauges cost more than that).

You'd be surprised at what sells and what doesn't sell.
