No. 32 scope repairmen?

[Peter Laidler]

Only useful for spare optical parts. But alas, the technical/optical spec for the lenses have been calculated and lens grinders are capable of re-manufacturing lenses using modern optical glass. The other point about buying another telescope for its optical spares is that they aren't fully interchangeable either mechanically or optically with another telescope and the ocular and erector lenses come as a perfectly matched set.
