Robin h of crombo chrono

[b.b]

Combro ....Any one heard from robin lately..
Iv been trying to contact him by phone and e mail but no luck.

[angrybear]

Have you tried a PM ?
last I heard Combro had closed, which was why the prices for used units had gone stupid.

[b.b]

Thanks. I have sent him a pm on this forum

.....Combro had closed, which was why the prices for used units had gone stupid.

Which is odd when you consider that a very significant reason for their value and utility is the legendary support from Robin when they "cease to operate".

It may be a parts sourcing issue. I know they have had trouble with sourcing parts that are niche and possibly low volume. The small chrono market is a busy place nowadays too.

Post 24 . Robin gives the reason there.

Last time I tried to use mine it gave an error that the manual said I needed to clean the battery contacts, I tried several times but it wouldn't work

The design relies on four stacked cells. Certainly when I had my Combro it would come back into operation after I'd taken the cells out and rubbed each side hard on the carpet. That's eight rubs. Any battery technology involves chemicals and they always seem to find their way outside of where they're meant to be. Corrosion, high resistance contacts or worse is the result. These pieces of kit are often stored for months or years between being used and that makes this situation worse.

Clean the cells and give the printed circuit board battery contact points a gentle 'polish'.

It was after Mick!, It had already been back to Robin after I sent down the garden at speed!!


I've only ever shot two Chrono's! (And my own finger!! )

Not pitting down the Crombo, but there are other cheaper alternatives. I tried to get one, but as someone said, he's hasn't got the parts. So I ordered HT-X3000 from amazon, was about £27 and works really well. Has good reviews round the web, so bit hard to compete with this price point?

If you've never shot a Chrono, then you're not trying hard enough.
