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

The supplier Bob mentioned is Don Rothman, whose "pre-owned" scope parts are known well to folks who have travelled to RTMC....
Another potential supplier of lots of telescope goodies -- Bill Vorce's Telescope Warehouse, another well-known vendor from RTMC, who is located just over on the AZ-CAL border in Meadeview, AZ: 
http://www.telescope-warehouse.com/
Lots of new, >>clean<< "surplus" ATM goodies... I can recommend his stuff and his friendly attitude. He has some unusual long-focal length eyepieces, too... 
Call him if you don't see what you need on his web pages....
And one more "surplus" ATM parts and optics supplier, who has advertised in S&T for many years -- Apogee-Inc 
http://www.apogeeinc.com/
(NOT to be confused with Apogee-CCD, the high-end, large-format CCD camera supplier !!) 
Have fun!

60MM F/11 LENS IN CELL,OLDER ONE FROM JAPAN,SMALL CHIP ON EDGE $40

Darrell,
Try the listings at Surplus Shed on line... I believe they have spare 60 mm objective lenses, probably very similar f.l. to what was in that scope.

Prices are very reasonable.
PS, They have some war surplus binocular stuff, too!

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)
