This week, Surplus Shed has offered some "refurbished" Nikon S-Kt
'scopes, although I think the price is a little on the high side. Their
copy says: "These have been completely refurbished with all new
gears..." I wonder where the gears came from? If the price were a bit
less, I would buy one as a spare for my S-Ke setup. http://www.surplusshed.com/pages/item/t1602.html
Still, I like my S-K, and think it's a good scope for any amateur.
Regards,
Joe
Usual disclaimers apply: just an occasional satisfied customer, no
affiliation, wish I lived closer so I could browse their store on
weekends, etc.
