                                                  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.

          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 - call me.
         Please remember most parts do not interchange and must be 
fitted, or made.
           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 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. Do not ask about your instruments value.

If you want help dating or identifying a instrument please include photos; all markings i.e.:
numbers, names, labels; also measurements in you first email. The more information the
better. You may experience delays in my response to your questions about your instrument
as I must take care of my customers needs first. 

Please do not inquire about instrument identification if you plan to list a instrument
on Ebay or sell it somewhere else unless you are willing to share the profit. I watch
ebay very closely and I will know.

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.
