I have Takitis and just to show what it leads to, I have attached a pic to prove to you what can and will happen. The big Taks spawn little Taks and sometimes the other way round. No place in a cold and dirty shed or garage for these little babies, they need the warmth and comfort of the loungeroom.

Thanks Steve - what a stunning collection of instrumentation.
Yeah, in my case a 60 gave birth to the 102. Before too long I can see that I'll catch the same damn sickness that you're battling. My G11 is going to get a bashing, because I hope that next on the list is a TOA130 or 150 with an STL11k hanging off it.
They really are lovely instruments. I've just spent the last hour matching each scope's R&P effort, so now both feel exactly the same to focus. Oh so nice.
