Has anyone done business with A. Jaegers Jr.? I bought a lot of stuff from Sr. decades ago, before the fire, but Jr.'s Website isn't very well done, and several pages try to load what my security software is calling "phishing" applications. Also most of their documents are not HTML, but Word files that must be downloaded and opened in your word-processing program. Seems really amateurish for a business Website. Kind of makes a guy nervous.

Maybe he isn't into computers but wants to do his own website. He probably has the Video Professor helping him, 1 lesson at a time. Try using some old technology to contact him like a landline. Sometimes that's more secure than anything, unless he's recording you of course. ;)
Hi Chuck,
I understand they had a fire years ago and a lot of what they are selling is inventory the had when Sr. passed away. I like the oversize diameter of my Jaegers focuser but the mechanics leaves something to be desired. A moto-focus from JMI helped a lot. Erik Has anyone done business with A. Jaegers Jr.?

I've owned the Jaegers oversized focuser, but the one I had was re-worked by Jim Riffle of Astro-works, and was really a nice piece of hardware. On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 9:22 AM, <erikhansen@thebluezone.net> wrote:
