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! Gene (17250) Bob Christ wrote:

I believe they have spare 60 mm objective lenses, probably very similar f.l. to what was in that scope.http://www.surplusshed.com/ Prices are very reasonable. PS, They have some war surplus binocular stuff, too!

If it was a 102mm, I wouldn't worrymuch, 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.
