The documents mention the Japanese Sokkisha bubble Sextant (#41), which "seems to be the only one in existence."
Well, I have the same one (but different serial nr of course).
I have not been able to operate, diagnose and let alone repair/restore it. Any information on this device would be most welcome. And I have the same experience that the current company Sokkia does not respond to questions. The Japanse text is not contemporary, but an earlier generation of spelling. Manual not included :(
