Dear Joel, > My suggestion is to take the sextnat frame to a > machine shop and ask them to use a "dial indicator" measuring the change > in 1/1000 along the arc from its pivot point. This is not so simple for me:-( You know, I live in a little Midwest city where there is no decent watch repair person, not speaking of machine workshop! Of course Purdue University has everything, but my experience with showing my inverting scope to Purdue people was negative:-) (Finally I found and fixed the problem myself). Alex.
