WANTED - Sextant

#1 Post by ovenpaa »

I am looking for a Sextant, a real one, not a desktop ornament please and it can be a plastic type as long as it has a full set of filters.

It will mostly be used for theory however it will also be a standby in the event of a GPS failure.

Anyone?

Fill your boots David - Some of these come up for auction tomorrow - you can bid online. One at out local auction went for £40 a couple of weeks ago.

I see even the plastic ones are around £70 now :(

Hello
There appeared to be a couple of the plastic ones on Ebay £35 made by ebbco, they did not look as complex as some of the others for sale

Thanks Bill, I spotted them as well however they both have damaged filters so not ideal. There are loads advertised for sale however the majority are poor copies and ornaments at best.
