With thanks to Advisory Panelicon member Peter Laidlericon, an interesting new article presented in two parts has been added to the Technical Articles for Milsurp Collectors and Re-loaders (click here).

"Phoenix Rising from the Ashes" - Part 1 (by Peter Laidler) (click here)

This interesting article, the first in a continuing series and accompanied by a detailed photo montage will detail the complete rebuild of a totally unserviceable, scrap Watson No.32 Mk2 telescope.

Article Extract .....

This is the problem. In this case, a crushed ocular end that has taken the ocular lens cell with it.
The front shade has also been damaged. But at least the shade can be repaired!

As with reading any kind of article, whether it be traditional paper magazine based, or in this case an electronic format, it's sometime difficult to gauge the reader'sinterest level. Peter has requested that if anyone has any questions on his current series of articles, comments or additions for inclusion in his articles under the "Collectors Comments and Feedback" section of the MKLicon article, or ideas for future topics, that they please leave feedback for him in the appropriate announcement thread.

Regards,
Badger
