    Iso flip side

    I have read Peters Thread on the Mk III and whilst I feel confident in doing the task on further inspection the unit requires a FTR I cannot say whether it suffered more than the broken cursor glass but it has among other things missing screws and the prism is cracked you can still read the card but its broken and thats that, so I will have a think if I want to sent it to the UKicon.
    I did pm Claven and ask what it cost to have his Mk III repaired but he may be away as I need to get some idea before I say to my wife its going to cost $X to have this brought up to almost original.
    I guess in Peters world they would scrap it for what they could utilize but they are not that common and when they do come up for sale they do attract a hefty price tag.
    My trip to town was not totally wasted picked up 5 complete though fired 30mm rounds so that gives me a nice 1/2 dozen now so that was the flip side to the Iso.

    Thanks for the reply Jim
