Bling bling

This would kinda go bling bling with your suitable mount eh...

(great Chinglish vocab!)

I wonder if they are pot metal painted brass, or real brass. Price is not objectionable.

Hmmmm....a bling bling'd Vixen Sphinx....might order some for Phil

Looks good Lewis .
Let me know if you see some counterweights made of premium exotica dairy grade stainless; something that looks like the piston out of a Maserati!
With thanks bigjoe.

I will Joe

I guess you don't need to repaint them, though polishing them is gonna be a chore. Guess that's what the slaves...errr...kids are for.

Lots of bling in those parts.....

Though Grand Master Ultra Premium Exotica Dairy Stainless Steel Parts from a Maserati Farm Truck are probably much more exclusive and destined to bring the field of Astronomy Alive world wide

I am considering having a replacement OTA lathe turned out of osmium or iridium. I guess I should not need a master polisher. I wonder if a dairy stainless factory has the cutting capability to mill/turn it though...

I did just find a source or dilithium for my illuminated finder batteries. The finder batteries also power your mount and supply feedback to the grid to help with initial outlay. His name is M. Scott and Co. if any of you are considering the jump to exotica level supreme batteries.

Never mind dairy grade... use 904L or 2RK65 as used in the nuclear power industry and it will last the life of the earth... bloody tough stuff, 40% nickel.
