I'm always looking for parts and accessories, and whenever I travel now I start searching the web for things to buy wherever I go. Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc....searching for telescopes, mounts, whatever.
Well, this was sitting 10 minutes from my hotel in Chicago this past weekend, and I had to grab it. $90 later and I'm the proud owner of a circa 1961 AO Spencer Model #41 Metallurgical Microscope with a full compliment of accessories! Unfortunately, I ended up having to drag it all over creation during my trip, the damned thing must weight 35 pounds!
Time to strip it down, clean it up and flip it!
