Parallelograms for sale
I have 4 parallelogram assemblies for sale. The assembly consists of the arms, yokes, and my "Lakeside" pivot assembly, allowing over 180-degrees of pan, right at the binocular. No need to walk around the tripod to pan. Can be used in "sidesaddle" (either side) configuration, straight, or anywhere in-between. They do not come with a tripod, counterweights, or "L" bracket. These are the wood versions of my aluminum prototype. Rich Tenney and Glen Warchol each have one fully mounted, and hopefully they will have them at Binopalooza next Thursday. I can coach you through attaching the assembly to a tripod and counterweighting it, or perform the work for you at additional cost. Glen and Rich each provided their own tripods. Tripods used on cheap Chinese alt-az refractors are perfect for this mount. There are a couple of counterweighting options, from dumbell weights, to the hanging water jug advocated by DeLoy Pierce and others. I am asking $30 each for the parallelogram assembly, already assembled. First come, first served. I do not plan on making any more for several months. I cannot send images due to the limitations of my AOL browser at home. I sent some to Patrick, hopefully he will get them on his website upon his return. -Chuck __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Chuck, I'll take one of those thingieograms. How do you want to arrange this transaction? Are you still working in Woods Cross? I will be going into SLC Monday or Tue. Ron. Chuck Hards wrote:

Hi Chuck, Would you please save me a parallelogram assembly. I can probably come down late today (Sat) or tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. I would have saved bandwidth and called you but I'm hunting all over for your address and phone number and have misplaced it. I've still got your L brackets and I would like to get the mount put together for the eclipse if possible. I'll need your ph and address again if you don't mind. I definitely need to go through my pile of astro papers today. I'm sure none of the rest of you have a "filing" problem, heh? I think I use the Las Vegas filing system. You just shuffle the papers and put them away...
