I got my $ back on the RCX, so now what do I buy?

Posted By David Simper

What about replacing the Tak idea with a 4.5" (faster) triplet, either TMB or SV ?

I recovered my stolen scope!

What is sad is if that guy is not legit, than he will clear the house etc... Did you get by a chance to download the other pictures from his website ? I guess most of the stuff can be cross checked to missing items in police records.. If he cleaned the website in the meantime, maybe the ISP has backup of his site from past days..

I ordered my WO binoviewers about 6 weeks ago from Anacortes. I was informed they would be here before Thanksgiving and now it looks as if they won't make it before Christmas. Anyone in the same boat?

In fact, I am in the opposite boat, selling my unit here on AM ;-)

..Did you specifically state that you would only accept PayPal if he paid the fees or did you just tell him there were fees associated with the premier account?..

Just told him.
I agree with you, Hugh. It is that I just expect a (in my eyes) common courtesy.

If I would persuade Bruce Sayre, amateur telescope maker extraordinaire, to make the scope for such mirror, I would not offer it for sale on AM.

Thanks for the report. Do you know what method he used and whether it would be possible to take pictures and post them here ?
