Looking to buy that No32 'scope.........

[Peter Laidler]

Merlin 266 and your thread 43 above. That scope is on its way back with a two page report on it and details of the repair including sheared screws and rusted out crusty internals. But it turned out that it went back together and even with a new OG lens (he'd polished the old one with Vim and scotchbrite) it came into optical focus quite easily and finished up like a new pin, such that I was really proud of it. Given a bit of care now, it'll last for another 70 years. And Tower 06, yes they ARE out there. Sometimes they're a bit of a dog, but they're all (?) fixable given the will and a bit of time

Save twice and buy once I say
