| MPN: Does Not Apply |
Here we have a Wild Heerbrugg T2 Theodolite, with case and cover. I believe the serial number is 1481? This was surplused by the state roads department, having been a display piece in someone's office for the past several decades. It still seems to work quite well as far as my limited knowledge can tell. The image is sharp, focus knobs works, the vertical and horizontal traverse knobs work nice and smooth, and the leveling knobs all work smooth as well. ... Several of the knobs I'm not sure what they do but if you clue me in I can test them as well. The image is a "normal" upright one. See the last photo for a picture I took looking through the eyepiece - that was almost a half mile distant.
The unit has it's metal 'bullet case', which locks in place great, and the leather is still good and flexible. It does has a small dent in the top. The base of the bullet case has a screwdriver, and two things that I gather are lamps of some sort? Apparently quite often missing, but this one has them. Also comes with what appears to be a vinyl(?) sheet cover, folded up, but it's rather stiff and I did not dare try to unfold it. I'll leave that up to the buyer. And lastly there is the large plastic carrying case. The plastic of the lid was broken at the latch in the past, and they glued it back in place - you can see the yellowish glue line in the pictures. I also took a picture down the foam cavity where the unit sits - you can see it's well worn from use. This will be abundantly packaged with padding in a large box, and I can take any further precautions you might ask as well. If there's special locks or anything to toggle on the theodolite itself for shipping, please let me know as that's something I don't have knowledge of.
Note that there is marker writing on the plastic case that indicates a serial number which does NOT match this instrument - when they sold them at the auction there were a few, and the buyer got to pick the case they wanted to go with tier instrument, and this case did not get picked by the buyer of the matching unit because of the repair to the case, so that's why the hand-written serial does not match the actual instrument serial. Weight 27 lbs (Before packaging)

SHIPPING-UPS & FEDEX:UPS and FEDEX **DO NOT** deliver to PO boxes. Please provide a REAL address.
SHIPPING-COMBINED: I always do my best to combine multiple wins to save on shipping. I make full use of USPS flat rate boxes wherever possible, and will only charge you for one box if I can fit multiple wins in the same box.

FOREIGN BIDDERS:I am happy to send you a quote during the auction if you want to know how much it will cost. Items are declared as "Other: ebay". I will NOT mark them as 'gift'. I DO NOT under-declare item value on the invoice. Do not ask.
SHIPPING - PACKING: I take packaging seriously. I know how fragile cast iron is. I use newspaper for small items, and packing peanuts only for very light items. I use a variety of bubble wrap and peanut-packs for most mid-size items. I do have costs associated with packaging materials, so please keep that in mind on the shipping amounts. Heavy items will be packaged using solid styrofoam block. It is very rare for the items I pack to be broken, as my feedback should attest.
LOCAL PICKUP: Local pickup is great! Especially on those large items. I can be flexible with scheduling - just ask!
