I would much appreciate it if list members could advise me on what I should be looking out for when buying a Mark IX A bubble sextant and on how much I can expect to pay for a "fully functional" model. What would an overhaul entail? I understand that this is a subject which has been discussed before, but I would like to approach it again to get some piece of mind. A couple of things scare me away from buying one, the extreme difficulty of finding replacement lightbulbs being just one example. Christian Scheele
