Len,I
dont know if anyone else on list helped but here goes.The SNOT,CHO series of
sextants were Freiburg sextant clones.I suggest you go to the Freiburg site or
find a Freiburg sextant owners manuel and that should tell you what you need to
work on your SNOT sextant.

Subject: Russian Sextant
I purchased a new SNOT Russian Sextant and it seems well made with an extra mirror and 2 telescopes, and a couple of adjusting tools and an instruction booklet in Russian, Can anyone on the list help me with either a translation or a place to get a translation or help in the use of the two adjusting tools.

1/2 of one of the adjusting tools adjusts the mirrors
