Alex, one "WILD T2 T-2 THEODOLITE WITH TRIBRACH NICE CONDITION Item number: 270174429768" went last month or so for: Winning bid: US $367.67 Ended: Oct-15-07 13:08:47 PDT Shipping costs: US $29.00 US Postal Service Parcel Post� Service to United States Ships to: United States Item location: Wasilla, Alaska, United States It really looked unused. Main problem was that I couldn't get my bid through because my home address is in Canada (the auction was limited to the USA) or the selling price would have been higher to reach my limit. I was willing to live with mils; the US version with 6400mils to the circle. Graduations of 0.002mil are a close enough equivalent of one second of arc. Did you run into the Soviet version of the mil, at 6000mils to the circle? -- Richard . . .
