Digital BW, The Print

I hate these stories about equipment that was purchased on Ebay and then
after a few days the equipment fails.

 

Do you have any recourse from the seller?

Subject: [Digital BW] DTP41 calibration Strips

 

  

I recently have bought trough ebay a DTP41 spectrophotometer for making QTR
profiles for my 1430 At beginning everything was ok with my density
readings... but after some days of joy DTP41 returns error 28 -telling me it
needs new calibration- but I got no calibration reference strip for doing
it. I have been trying to order through X-Rite a new calibration strip -its
DTP41-100-Kit - but it is impossible. They tell me this item is very
obsolete ...so I have to make my own calibration strip. Through Color Port I
can print an "equivalent" strip but I don't know how to transfer its
reflectance data into Tool Crib because I have no file model to do it, so
the reason of this writing is a call of help to the community of DTP41 users
of this group. 
I should need a copy of any calibration file ?????.xrc located I believe at
Tool Crib folder that any normal DTP41 user should have.
Your help or hints shall be highly appreciated
Regards
