What model rower is this?

Post by Jethronh » July 17th, 2024, 8:32 pm

Hello community.

My father in law was has a rowing machine in his basement and I’m trying to find information on it. A manual would be great or at least some specs about the tower and the display unit. From what I see online it’s a model B circa 1988?? Is the display computer standard issue for that model or are there various ones that you could get? It’s I. Great shape. I put batteries in the computer and it seems to be working. I appreciate anyone’s volunteering of information.

I saved some pics here

That's a model B with a PM1. So dates from 1986 (production ended in 1993 but yours is an early model with the original PM1).

Click the v symbol at the right of the "Browse this Section" area and you'll find support information.

If you can't find what you need give C2 a call - they're super-helpful.

And welcome to the forum : )

As you note, it's a Model B. The PM1 monitor is original. All of the measures are standard, so if you don't mind entering your log data manually, you're good to go.

If you want to use apps, or to upload your results automatically to log.concept2.com you may want to purchace a PM5 monitor. But you don't need to.

I do recommend logging your workouts.

Concept 2 carries a full line of replacement parts, schematics, and instructions for maintenance. Note that they sell a number of parts in addition to the ones listed in the on-line store.
