Would anyone know a good place where I could by an armillary (https://www.google.com/search?q=armillary+sundial&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=yTm1UuzkHsmkkgWx8oDAAg&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=820) ("equatorial bow (https://www.google.com/search?q=equatorial+bow+sundial&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=UTm1UoK5G42flQWd24H4Dg&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=820)") style sundial? (preferably locally if possible) I'm looking for one that actually works, not just for show. I have a spot in my back garden that I currently use for my scope that I'd like to put a sundial on a pedestal during the day.
I have seen widely varying prices from various overseas sites, mostly on very old/basic sites with only a link to email them. I don't really want anything super large / heavy / expensive, just a small brass curve with arrow that can be adjusted for location & date.
I'm not phased whether it's an antique or contemporary style, deciding factors will be size and price.
