Hello..new to list and to celestial nav, so apologies
if my question is uninformed...

I bought an old Astra (Nova GLH130-40).  Looks like it
was in great shape to start with but packaged poorly
and knocked around quite badly in shipping :-(

The upper screw holding the handle on is loose.  It
looks like the only way to get at it is to take off
the index arm, which scares me.  Is this something
that can be done? There is a plastic cover over a
large screw, also a collar threaded on with three
holes to turn it by...

The pieces of the horizon mirror have slid around a
bit too, i will try to read up on how to adjust it and
then check the index error..everything else seems to
move freely and work...should i be really upset about
this or will this sextant still be functional /
accurate?? what else should i be checking?? the optics
and filters and mirror silvering all seem good and the
mic turns almost perfectly freely

thanks so much for your help....murray
