There is an MA-2 for sale on ebay now and these don't come along
often. The MA-2 was the penultimate developement of the handheld
bubble sextant. It is the Kollsman periscopic sextant without the
periscope and it has the same averager. See here for more
information:  http://home.earthlink.net/%7Es543t-24dst/airnav/index.html
