[sac-forum] Re: Looking for a 60mm f15 objective

Darrell,
Does that scope have Galileo's signature on it? Oh, I forgot, he used a singlet objective. Is it really the crown that's chipped? Generally the concave side of the flint elemenet gets chipped. Also, are the elements cemented? Cement failures can look like chips.

Not sure if folks here are as interested in older refractors as I am,
but I have yet another project that's old, complete and in really
pristine shape ... except for the crown half of the objective.
Clamshell chips all the way around.  If it was a 102mm, I wouldn't worry
much, but at 60mm, I'm going to try and find a replacement.

If anyone happens to have an unused "cell" they'd like to "sell", I'd
sure be interested.   (D:60, F:900)

Thanks,

Darrell Spencer
