Hi
Some good news! I found a great site at
http://www.scopestuff.com/ which sold the mounting bracket for a reasonable US$24.00 with shipping at "only" US$18.00. I e-mailed the contact address and received a friendly reply from the owner(?) Jim Henson so placed my order on line. I'll keep you posted on how I go.
If you want accessories, this is a great site to explore.
Cheers
Dennis
