Newly acquired No. 32 MKII scope

[Warren]

I added up the total decent parts on the re-run of the butchered Ebay scope and came to about $150.00 Cdn. in value.
To transplant an ocular bell with the retaining rings around the erector cell cover or replace the rings by taking one off a 42 or 53 is a bitch of a job...done it and don't relish doing it again. They are brazed on.
The knobs are toast as is most of the turret assembly: a lot of metal has been removed.
Hmm, maybe an offer of $140.00 tops.
By the way, the No.4 (T) with the crushed ocular bell and missing the turret body in a previous posting is the "survivor" of a house fire.
The turret assembly just plain melted off.
I've rebuilt a 32 out of a house fire but no way close to that one and it came out OK, but even the erector lenses were pooched. Every lens had just exploded.
Not as hot a fire as the current one but it did however, get a lot of heat.
