Hello Everybody
I picked up a 1942 NZ telescope tripod at the War and Death Show at Paddock Wood. I want to use it at the range but it needs some adjustments. Can anybody answer a few questions?
1. It is 28 inches high. Why is it such a ridiculous height? It can't be used prone (too high) and it can't be used kneeling or sitting (too low). Any ideas? I am thinking to cut it down to 20 inches so I can use it prone - otherwise its not much use to me. Or would this be a bad bubba-ing? I know they are around in the more useful 20 inch format.
2. What was used to keep all of the legs together during transport - was it a leather strap for instance?
3. What kind of carrying strap was attached to the brass fitting on the leg and the brass attachment on the telescope ferrule? Any idea where I can get one?
4. Was there some kind of wooden plug on a string that fits into the clamp when the telescope is not in it? Any idea where I can get one?
5. Was there any kind of soft covering inside the clamp to avoid damaging the scope?
All views are gratefully received.
Cheers
