tuckstar Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hi Mike. Welcome aboard. Perkil8r unfortunately can't get them any more. But I know someone else was trying and I have a pattern for one your welcome to have if you think you can get one made up. Post a hello in the welcome section and ask away.

Guest zidder Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I looked into getting a circle printed up, they came out quite expensive for one off £45.00 the only way to get them at a reasonable price was to have 10 off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If you're still wanting one Gary, then with Mike wanting one too I would only need one more to make it worth while. In which case the cost would be approx £20 to each one. Osborne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Perkil8r, Mike here, I know another guy who could be interested, he has a 12" Orion dob but it could be a week before I see him up at our local Obs. I'll be back in touch after I have seen the guy. again thanks Mr P Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 No worries. If he does want one, do me a small favor as I haven't actually measured an Orion dob, get the outside diameter of the base for me, that way we can make sure I get the right sizes off the bat.

Mr Perkil8r, I replied to the above one day last week stating the guy does not want any setting circles, so we are back to two people. I asked how much would it cost for two setting circles to be made. I suppose that request may take some time. Osborne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zidder Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 While I was at Mpole last week I was speaking to someone about this, he said he might get one for his dob. Unfortunately I cant remember who it was, he may respond to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perkil8r Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I didn't see any reply so apologies for that. I could probably get them down to £25 each for 2 off. It is the shipping that kills it really, they have a minimum shipping cost that is not far off the cost of the bloomin' things themselves at anything less than 3.

Unfortunately I cant remember who it was, he may respond to this If we can get another one it will bring the cost down. I did consider setting up to sell these before, the only problem being the number of them I would need to buy in order to have the size everybody wanted. Just the same as any retail business really, stock is like dead money until it sells and sadly without stock you can't sell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Opamp Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi everybody, I am a new member on this site but have been following the blogs for several months. I was particularly interested in the article about setting circles. Since I have just purchased my first scope, ( SW 250 flex Dob ), I also would like to fit a setting circle to it.
