Special Offer  

Celebrating the 38th year of Antique Surveying Instrument Sales and Service.

All Items are used except those noted otherwise.

For all Tripods and Parts there are NO REFUNDS after the sale so
please make sure this is something that you want and be very sure
the thread size is correct for your instrument prior to purchasing.
ALL TRIPOD SALES ARE FINAL............... No refunds allowed.

I'm very sorry UPS shipping costs have recently nearly doubled or more.
Although there are other shipping methods at leaser cost. I have had
considerable losses with FedEx and the US Postal Service so I will not
ship with them. The cost of shipping a stiff leg tripod will be nearly
$70.00 or possibly more due to the length of the package they ship "over size"

ALL TRIPOD and PART SALES ARE FINAL............... No refunds allowed.
