I have a really nice looking timber and brass teodolite tripod , very heavy so you could pick up from the observatory ( Lake Bathurst ) or I may be able to deliver to Sydney or ACT

$200

Thanks

Hi Astroboy,

Just wondering if this is still for sale, and if so could you post a few photos of it ?

In particular I need a closeup shot of the head with a ruler or scale, as I need to work out if what i have in mind will fit. Also could you show what the central mounting bolt looks like - is it the standard 5/8" - 11 tpi screwthread and does it permit lateral adjustment, or not ?

Cheers, Wavy...

You probably need a tribrac for lateral adjustment.

Gosh, that's pretty. Pity I already have a nice Russian wooden one to do what I need.
