Hi all,
I'm restoring an old Edmund Scientific 4.25" reflector, and am hoping someone knows if the original wood tripod came with a chain to keep the legs in place. This "ebay" scope came with a chain, but it looks like it may have been added later. I will remove the chain if it isn't original before I fill and stain the wooden tripod. The 1957 catalog doesn't say anything about a chain, and the pictures don't show the bottom of the tripod. Any ideas? Thanks!
