The telescope optics are good, and clean, with a nice clear image. This is the instrument you usually find inold films used by Land Surveyors or on display in the Architect’s officesitting on a tripod or on the mantelpiece. Some of my instruments have been sold to a NewYork film company and have been used as props in films.

We also restore oldtheodolites and levels on request. Allotof my sales are to repeat customers. All my instruments are very well packed forinternational shipping as we all know, that everyone is not as careful as youand I. If you read my feedbacks you will see that there are comments frombuyers on how well packed their instruments were received.The Tripod is not included in the sale. It was only used to display the instrument.
