                                                  About what I do.
          I repair, restore, clean, adjust, calibrate, surveying Instruments, 
and optical tooling equipment. I will not refinish a instrument or polish
one. By restoring I mean returning the instrument to working condition,
or to as near to working condition as possible, not refinishing.
          I have been doing antique and scientific instrument restoration 
for many years. I have collected and restored many museum pieces, 
and have an extensive collection of surveying instruments, and optical 
tooling equipment that are available for sale.
          In my shop I can make, or do just about anything with any material. 
I have over 35 years experience as a machinist and in instrument repair. 
I have very extensive professional state of the art instrument calibration 
equipment.
          You may send me photos of an instrument that you wish to have
repaired, or restored. I will be glad to give you a quote, but most time I
need the instrument to give a firm quote of cost.
          I have a large stock of instrument parts and I'm always looking for
more. Please, if you have parts you don't want -  Email or call me.
          Please remember most old parts do not interchange and must be 
fitted, or made.
          Please E-mail about needed parts with as much information as
possible and photos of the instrument and old part or parts. The phone
just makes things more difficult.
          Please email me about instruments and other surveying
equipment you want to sell with as much information that you have,
and photos. I do not make offers so please include what you are willing
to sell the instrument for.

I do not accept consignments, please don't ask me to sell a instrument for you.

I have in stock over a thousand level vials of various sizes and sensitivities.
I need to know when asking for a particular vial the free length inside the tube,
the inside diameter to the nearest thousands of a inch, the length of the window
opening and desired sensitivity, or its application. Prices will be quoted upon request.

I do not do appraisals. Please do not ask about your instruments value.
I can not give a value for a instrument unless I have it here to inspect.

Please do not phone me about identifying a instrument, it is nearly impossible
to do so over the phone.

Please do not inquire about instrument values or instrument identification if you
plan to list a instrument on Ebay or sell it elsewhere.

Please do not email any attachments. I do not open any attachments
unless I expect a attachment from prior correspondence.
Please insert any photos, or other information in the text of the email.

Also I would appreciate a response to my return emails.
