Looking for help finding a Supplier

sharpiel · #1 06-03-2022, 08:29 PM

To the forum at large:

I have a project that needs two William Optics 8" Losmandy Saddle Plates like the one pictured below.

I have one already, and have had a Wanted Ad placed in the IIS Classifieds for some time.

Because I want to move the project forwards I've searched online for suppliers for a new one but can't find anything in stock, or current.

Even on the Williams Optics website.

Does anyone know if these are old and discontinued?

Alternatively does anyone know of an online link for a currently in-stock supplier..?

Or, lastly, does anyone have a surplus one they could spare? Please PM me to discuss if so.

Again, happy to buy new if someone could help direct me...

Hi Les
Found these on Ebay from the USA. May be worth an inquiry.

If you are an Astromart member, check the auctions. Herb is cleaning out his inventory and there are many odds and ends being auctioned

I have the red version sitting around, PM me an offer if you are interested. I will get some photos posted as well.
Cheers,
Simon.

Hey Jeff.

Thanks for the link. All excited. But they don't ship to Australia unfortunately. I'll keep looking through eBay tho. Worse case maybe I can PayPal one of our American community members and get one sent.

Thanks. But I have managed to almost receive one from the US with help from one of our USA members here. The item is currently on route.

Ironically I see Steve (Unipol) has just listed in the classifieds the exact saddle I wanted. Oh well...
