Doc Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Has anyone got one they are not using, I need the base as well, and it must be in excellent condition. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I sold mine to Steve Ibbo last year Mick and have kind of regretted it. Ask him if he'll sell you it Especially as i recently broke the flimsy plastic mounting plate on my current Skysurfer 3. Still have the Telrad option though. You may struggle to find one at present, if you can't get a used one. FLO list them as unavailable. Teleskop Service (my current preferred dealer who are German) have them backordered, and to contact them. Flo's price is £89, TS around a tenner less with the weak € Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Every dealer I have checked doesn't have them in stock, I've tried at least six. It might be chunky but they are really well made. I'm sure Steve when he reads this will let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'm sure TS in Germany is your quickest option for buying new. Don't think they'll be long coming back into stock ; German efficiency etc I may well order one myself...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 The version three is a completely different from the V version, it's plastic and easily broken. Thanks for looking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I have a v4, use it for solar at the moment! I find the red dot adjustment a PITA Mick! I can bring it for your perusal next week?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yep that is the one Ron. They have an excellent reputation. What don't you like about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It's a pain to adjust, you have to remove the plastic tops then use a screwdriver to adjust it, having said that, when it's adjusted it stays there! I have put some solar foil in the plastic lens at the front (just placed, not glued) so I can use it with the ED80 for Solar viewing. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Couldn't you replace the screw with a thumbscrew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't use it enough to change anything, If I remember I'll bring it over on Saturday for you to look at, maybe make me an offer? Hope the weather picks up for next weekend!! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
