Where to Buy TAK collimation scope

[Flugel88 (Michael)]

Does anyone know where i can get a Tak Collimation Scope so i can try collimation of my RC?

OPT are out of stock and i tried http://www.astronomy-electronics-centre.com.au but didn't get a response

Also does anyone know what the best option for attaching the TAK to the scope is?
I was thinking of getting a part made by precise parts so i could attach the TAK to a 2" nose cone or does anyone know a better option.

Thanks a million

cheers
Michael

Hi Michael,

Peter Tan might be able to help you: http://www.tan14.com/gears.htm

If you get desperate PM me. I have one that I don't use but I keep it in case it comes in handy in future (and I'm too busy/lazy to try to sell and post it.)

There's a readily available adapter that will connect the Tak scope to a T-thread. I've posted about it a few times and I have one:

The thread on the Tak Collimating scope is M36.4P1. If you don't have a Tak scope which includes appropriate adapters, then the Borg #7423 (http://www.sciencecenter.net/hutech/.../html/7423.htm) will get you to a T-thread.

Cheers,
Rick.

I ordered one from here 2 month ago and it arrived within a month. The guy even rang me to say it would be delayed as they had none in stock and then rang when it arrived and he was about to send it on.
More than happy with their service.
Give them another try.
