Dropped my (only) 70° transducer and broke a huge chunk of my wedge...... :mad:

Waiting for the NDT supply shop to open so I can order a new one and have it shipped next day(uggh and it's the weekeknd).

I was checking some TS sections that were cut apart and welded back together using backing strips to make tapered TS sections and reached back over to adjust something on my UT machine the the transducer slipped off into the floor. dangit......... /end of rant

Oh man...now I don't feel quite so bad. I got my order placed, and will have a replacement on Monday. Mmeanwhile, I'm stacking material up and putting it to the side until the wedge shows up. I had used all of my spare 70° wedges for other odd-ball projects(round tubing of differing sizes).
