Israeli No.32 scope

[Warren]

There is an excellent book on Goldberg called :Emanual Goldberg and his Knowledge Machine. by Michael Buckland
You can sometimes find it on the discount book seller sites cheap and I do mean cheap!!!
I have bought several copies over the years as gifts to people in the optical industry and who have helped me with problems with lenses etc.
Most found it absolutely fascinating...
An acquaintance of mine in Israel at the IDF museum interviewed Goldberg's sister for me when I first started looking into the Israeli scopes.
The scope is no comparison to the No.32 scope (any Mk.) and mechanically could be described as a Mickey Mouse scope, but it did the job.
The lenses were actually ground out of store front window plate glass,
That might explain the problem with that last bit of clarity in the optics that is not there.
The scope is a real pig to work on.
